DodgyBastard Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It's time to move the Rover on so it's up for Roffle if anyone wants a go. It has been owned by quite a few people on the forum, I let Nisfan have it a while ago but he's no longer using it so it's just sitting taking up space.Mot is until December, it drives fine from what I remember but there's a crack in the windscreen so that will definitely need replaced for the next test.£2.50 a number and located in Cowdenbeath.DSC_0682-1 by srblythe, on Flickr1.

captain_70s Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Drove alright when I had it, every panel is rusty/dented/scraped to fuck but it didn't seem all that structurally fucked and everything seemed to just about work. Was surprisingly rapid. 10/10 would WBOD if not for insurance costs. Mrs6C and oldcars 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Has it still got the history file? Like a true autoshite bod I’d set out all the history I had in the conventional sense and also printed everything from the retro rides bo11ox tat blog and all posts from here related to it. Remember it a framing a polonez? What about the ribbing sixcylinder got when he was trying to get the cheapest rail fayre to collect it? It was all there. Yes I am sad.

phil_lihp Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'm amazed my rattle-can touchups held as long as they did, terrifying to think this was four and a half years ago... Still love this car, it did so much so well and was totally reliable both times I had it. Mega-comfy too. I had that windscreen fitted when that and the frame rot threatened to send it over the bridge - I also ended up replacing the incontinent waterpump and rotten radiator and a load of other bits, probably ended up spending 4x what it was worth over two ownership stints but it was always a joy to drive. I'll pass on the tickets as there's no way I could risk actually winning and having to make a 1000 mile round trip to get a fourth motor I don't need. Hope it does the next owner a good turn and continues to soldier on. Spooky, it is exactly, to the day, 5 years ago that I started this thread... http://autoshite.com/uploads/monthly_04_2014/post-5492-0-99618500-1397935453.jpg eddyramrod, Coprolalia, Dick Longbridge and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I so wanna have a go in this but once again I gotta watch the pennies, my insurance is up in 15 days so I gotta use what I've got left to become keep my car road legal* Plus going all the way up to CowandBeef and bringing a 2.0 Rover back with me would rob me considerably. However, I will be keeping a keen eye on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skizzer Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I’ll have two randoms please. Most people on here have got some connection to this car - mine is that I used to see it around Swansea when it lived with Phil_lihp’s sister for a while. Plus I have happy memories of driving a lovely 3-door 220GSi belonging to a girl I was keen on a long time ago. Only got to first base but the Rover was good fun.
