Rover 220 sli Roffle, All set for Sat draw !!


Recommended Posts

Posted

With a very heavy heart it's time for me to give up my custody of the Autoshite legend that is the Rover 220 Sli. Mrs Omegod has just taken delivery of a brand spanking SEAT Ateca and our trusty Fiesta is heading my way.  

 

The history of the car is well known with at least 9 previous owners here and she has had much mechanical massaging to achieve the latest MOT. Track rod end,Trailing arm bush,wishbone,Brand new rear caliper,Hand brake cable, new battery, spark plugs and Sill welding. It has 10 months MOT remaining at least and will be taxed to the end of the month along with GYH insurance if you are quick.

 

I've loved owning her and she certainly get's under your skin somehow, comfier than anything I've had before, indecently quick for her age and miles of 154k on the clock but I believe the 820 engine fitted has a few more than that under it's belt. Her body blemishes are currently concealed by a few smears of filler to help with the MOT,

 

Faults: center pipe has a wee blow which I'll try to paste it, there's a little rumble from a front bearing and the drivers central locking solenoid doesn't work off the remote. I'll be getting the tracking redone this week as it's to cock following the MOT work. I'll add pics when I've given her a wash.

A couple of the many threads she has featured in, the first is by far the best and details Mr_bollox at his very best from page 16 onward.

Three randoms for me.

 

Because I definitely* need two R8s in my life.

Bargain. Reading the original Boll thread on RR reminded me just how much £££ and patience he threw at it initially after the engine work, then swap. This R8 has definitely had a charmed existence for a number of years!

41 44 51 please

Posted

no 28 if you would. (God knows why I'm having a go, as no room and already interested in another car on here)

However always try and take no. 28 in roffles so have to keep up the routine.

 

No I'm not addicted to Auto shite :)

Posted

oh go on then... I might as well break my no more raffles new years resolution with something as nice as this

 

3 randoms please....

Posted

I think one R8 is quite enough for me!

Is the lock solenoid problem common? One of mine doesn't work either.

Well happy to be corrected, but just added up as above and appears to be 40 numbers taken already.

No list yet, but if they're available then 26 and 6 and 7 please, if not, then three ramsons please.

 

I'd be honoured to own it, even though I don't even know what it looks like!
