Not many left now but nice cars. I bought a 2-litre version around 10 years ago for £50, I think scrap was on its arse at the time and the owner was going to give it to the Fire Brigade to cut up but decided to try eBay first.

 

Yo Shadow, I know you don't want to reveal your sources and that's fair enough, but do you get charged by Gumtree if you sell over a certain number of cars in a year?

Do you have any motors with a week or so mot for not a lot of coin for sale shadow?

bit work to do rear arches,change tax over mon due to being disabled,more pictures in morning

Posted

Yo Shads, if you want rid of this Rover, I've a soft spot for R8 400s, always wanted one and keep missing the boat. I'm certain you'll want more than £20.

Posted

tax changed over at post office this morning,attacked the passenger side w/arch scraped hammered of rust,than painted with green hammerite jelly,than fibreglassed rear w/arch\drivers side torrow,more pictures,had my phone needed charging,driving well..

I like that alot, well bought again. They still look very nice and well proportioned, a superb design and a true successor to the Montego.

 

I can tell you are going to have a lot of interest on here when you decide to sell it.

Posted

If you grab this one, Mo, I still have the spare boot badges this one is missing that you acquired for me.

Posted

Mate of mine once had a 414. Had a massive soft (hard?) spot for them ever since.

Gotta love an R8, had the three and five door models, plus a few cabriolets but never the four door. They do look good but the coupe wins my vote. Miss my old Tomcat and actually saw a beautiful m reg today in Feltham (titter) whilst collecting a purple mgf I bought by accident on eBay.

new pictures,bit of work done on one wheelarch,other to do tomorrow,seems very solid underneath,has been previously rustproofed,. :-D painted on some of aldi famous metal,only had green,will do for now.

Love the 'hammer-driver' in the last pic, got one just like that myself.

 

The 75 aside I'm not that arsed about modern Rovers, but that's a right purchase for twenty pund 8)

Posted

I'm trying not to imagine that as part of my fleet.  It's getting more and more difficult, tbh.

Posted

Decent (Honda ) engine at least

 

Ha! Honda engine was the worst bit about my 416. Bloody horrible it was.

Posted

I'm looking for a presentable cheap R8 shell to house the running gear from my shitty soft top one, this looks ok but I think I'll keep looking

Posted

I feel cheated. £20!

 

You got the rep version, allowing you to do 110 in the outside lane of the motorway with your right indicator on bullying cars out of your way.

 

I got the Cabriolet version, complete with scuttle shake for £300.

 

You win.
