Dollywobbler's Dead Rover 600 - Replacement sorted

[dollywobbler]

13 minutes to go, and I'm choosing my moment. Don't want to leave it too late. Do I bid low or go straight to what I'll pay? Hmmm.

 

If this falls through, then option two is still quite nice (the Ti).

"You are the highest bidder." Minutes left...

[robinmasters]

£200 and five minutes to go? This is better than the whole Olympics put together*. By far. I'm going watch the auction, live.

 

Apart from the ropey arch, that's flipping lovely.

 

*in all honesty, I don't like sport much

[robinmasters]

Did you win?

[taxi paul]

"I like a bit of velour" . Got to be the best chat up line ever. !!!

[dollywobbler]

WINNAH

[dollywobbler]

What I love is that it's in the same number plate sequence as the first car pictured in this thread, and therefore the first (and only) 600 I've ever driven. ACE!

[EssDeeWon]

Nice one!!  And a good choice of car, I like these 600's, they are currently so cheap!

 

£231, flippin heck!!  well done.

[purplebargeken]

Nice one!

[hairnet]

will the mrs think mmmm comfy

 

or durty diesel AGAIN.......

[dollywobbler]

I would seriously recommend that someone nabs that £500 Ti on Gumtree. That's a hell of a car for the money I reckon. 

[Skizzer]

Well done! Handsome things these, looking forward to reading how you get on.

[dollywobbler]

I'd like it if the seller would respond to emails. I need to book a train! Unless someone buys the Colt very quickly (unlikely).

[trigger]

"HI M8. I WANTED MOR SO NO SALE"

[dollywobbler]

Contact established. I'd better book some train tickets.

[Six-cylinder]

Or drive the colt to me I will take you to Oxford. After I have test drive the colt for a bit I will store it in the field of dreams while you sell it, if you like?

[purplebargeken]

Phew!

[beko1987]

Or if you can get to Chris's for tomorrow by 7am I could run you up to wycombe for Marylebone or Maidenhead for Paddington... Ill be at work otherwise

Kind offer, but I've booked the train now. It was only £37.

Ha! You're funny! That would mean leaving in a few hours' time. 

[beko1987]

At least the traffic would be light!

[Split_Pin]

Well played there, that's a lot of car for not much money!

[HMC]

Top winnageing!!!

 

I was wondering whether it would be you or Robt that got a 600 first as you've both been semi-after one at some point.

[fatharris]

I very narrowly bought a 618i a few years ago. I had my Puma for sale and had no biters, and saw it - reasonably priced in that lovely nightfire red, red key still in the packet, rover touch up pen, and low mileage with a full ticket.

 

I finally sold the Puma and headed straight for the garage, but it had sold. I was truly gutted. I bought my 75 in retaliation and enjoyed that instead.

 

Now you've reminded me of how much I like these, damn you!

I was wondering whether it would be you or Robt that got a 600 first as you've both had massive semis for them at some point.

[Shep Shepherd]

At that price, how could you go wrong?

It's afukin steal, don't recall seeing one come up in halfway decent shape for a year or two.  

[xtriple]

Top biddage The only experience I have of 600s is an old work mate had one. He had it forever. It was a diesel and sounded absolutely bloody appalling, like a proper old fashioned diesel should. He must have had it for a good ten years plus with absolutely no bother then his wife started the nagging and he got rid and bought a new car. Within a week they both wanted the old 600 back but the dealer had sold it.

 

He was gutted....

[Junkman]

At that price, how could you go wrong?

 

By being stranded on a French hard shoulder?

That won't happen, though. It's a Rover after all, despite all that Chinese tosh in it.
