Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Alright shiters, help me in my quest to lose some ballast by buying this Rover which owes me much more than the asking price I have repaired the sill at the rear end like so, but have not got round to painting it so it looks exactly like this with a coat of zinc primer on. The new owner can tart that up with a tin of Rover BRG metallic (which is provided). Havent got any good pics of the interior but its got the black half-leather set up in very nice condition. Good points:Long MOT, passed just 3 or 4 weeks ago and not been used sincenew cambeltnew front tyres and centre exhaust2 refurbished fobs for the 5AS immobilisernew centre exhaust55,000 miles - seemingly genuine according to the MOT webshiteLocking wheelnuts have been binned and replaced with proper nuts. Bad points:a few blebs here and thereno stereoI have not used this car myself so although it runs and drives great, I can't offer any long-term guarantees about its karma level. However the 1.4 multipoint K-series runs lovely and I can certainly say theres piss all wrong with the HG. I have fitted a new thermostat as a precautionary measure. The gearchange and door shut action are as good as you will find on an R8. Basically the message is come and drive it away for £350. I did offer this to IainL for 300 elsewhere on here, I think 350 is a fair price but if that last 50 is a deal breaker for you and you sound plausible I might barter a bit. Its in Cheshire (Nantwich). PM me or call O78OO 9O2396 Cheers loserone, scruff, The Moog and 11 others 14
dollywobbler Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 That still seems excellent value. I'll concede that this one did tempt me, but I'm putting car buying on hold until I'm back from hols. Therefore, someone else should nab this BARG. Laseraligningfoofooflanges 1

Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 8, 2016 Author Posted August 8, 2016 IN a few weeks the old G-reg Fatha_Bo11ox R8 is likely to become available as he is having an upgrade to Rover 45 2.0 KV6 power, anyone fancying a very rare mega early single-point 214 R8 should get in touch. mercedade, eddyramrod and Tam 3
Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 8, 2016 Author Posted August 8, 2016 Yeah he's had it since about 2007/2008 when i got it off ebay for 70 quid! dollywobbler 1
Lankytim Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Has Fatha BALLZ R8 still got my Grandad-in-laws R8 cylinder head on it?
rantingYoof Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Wow, a '95 plated SEi! Makes me very nostalgic for mine. Fantastic motor - I hope it goes somewhere it will be loved!
Split_Pin Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 I was seriously tempted by this, especially as the Megane seller was pissfarting me around something bloody awful. Looks like I'm on for Weds night though but we will see. Absolute VALU, considering the work that has gone into it. Looks a lovely way into Rover ownership.
Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 8, 2016 Author Posted August 8, 2016 Has Fatha BALLZ R8 still got my Grandad-in-laws R8 cylinder head on it?Certainly has!!!! Next week that cylinder head will be flowing air and exhaust gas all the way to France & back!
scruff Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 I haz spied Daddy Bollocks' Rover a few times on the A47, fine conveyance
Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 8, 2016 Author Posted August 8, 2016 Oh aye, he'll have been on his way to Cinema club on a Thursday night!!! scruff 1
BorniteIdentity Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 IN a few weeks the old G-reg Fatha_Bo11ox R8 is likely to become available as he is having an upgrade to Rover 45 2.0 KV6 power, anyone fancying a very rare mega early single-point 214 R8 should get in touch. This is relevant to my interests. There was a G reg one in Goldmember Bronze on eBah earlier in the year, and it certainly got things twitching downstairs. Is it red/pink? Definitely keen to hear more.
RobT Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Is it red/pink? Definitely keen to hear more. Henley blue awesomeness. purplebargeken, eddyramrod and BorniteIdentity 3
BorniteIdentity Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Oh my. If it had the blue dash I'd probably just kick Mr Testicles out of it now. I'll await the fuller advert with great anticipation.
worldofceri Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 As a satisfied former customer of Bo11ox Shite Contract Hire (Cayman Islands) PLC and Bo11ox Gambling Services (Gibraltar) Ltd, I have no hesitation in saying this deal is probably legit. scruff, andrew e, purplebargeken and 6 others 9
Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 9, 2016 Author Posted August 9, 2016 Roll up roll up, I sold my camper today for a bit less than I really wanted so need to make up the difference, come and give this sweetie a good thrashing and take it back to yours after
Kiltox Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I'd love to park this next to my R8 convertible but I have neither the space nor the funds Looks fit though
eddyramrod Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 A G-reg R8 to go with my G-reg SD3 would be awesome! BorniteIdentity 1
Ghosty Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 I'm putting car buying on hold until I'm back from hols. We all know how that ended. dollywobbler 1
phil_lihp Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I'm starting to run out of reasons not to have this...it would only be my 3rd R8 and my 2nd ex-Bo11ox one. Hmm. eddyramrod and purplebargeken 2
phil_lihp Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Damn it all, PM sent. The Moog, RobT, loserone and 11 others 14

Rod/b Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Anyone who missed out might be interested in this bargain: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281995929427 I would have posted it in eBay bargains but i couldn't find it. Whatever.

Cheezey Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 For a car that appears to be in nearly new condition I don't think that's a bad price.
Dave_Q Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 I agree that its GR8 condition and low miles and whatnot, but it's priced about £2000 above its actual market value.
