Sold 1991 Rover 416GTi - £300/£5 ticket - DEPOSIT TAKEN

[Ghosty]

Well, I'm throwing in the Rover towel.

1991 Rover 416GTi.
<copypasted description>

87k, new headgasket and cambelt, new fuel relay, K&N panel filter, stainless header and 2.5" exhaust (no cat required), valve stem seals done, little rot (worst is pictured). Paint is poor (front end rattlecanned - you all know why), but presentable from a few feet.
1991/J, runs well but currently misfires at low revs when up to temp (under investigation, if it takes a while to sell this may well get fixed). Runs well on the motorway but needs a slightly heavy foot around town else it struggles. Will get you home no problem, though.
Recent front tyres - Vredestein.
Good condition Prussian Blue velour interior (rare factory optional leather delete). 4x electric windows and leather steering wheel. Three of the four original Rover floor mats are present. Headlining is good.
Wood heater control panel from a cabriolet, looks nice but has a lot of light bleeding through when lights are on. Can include original black panel.
Two spare alloy wheels.
MOT to August with very clean history.

Not sure if it's worth more as a car or in parts, but offers are encouraged as I need it gone to get something else.
</copypasted description>

Er, yeah, you all know this car by now. Ideal WBOD? It's very good on the motorway, but might benefit from some Dynamat (other sound deadening is available).
£300/£5 roffle. I can't get anyone interested in it at all except messers, and now it's just taking up space I don't have.

Blue car is very blue

[bramz7]

A random please

[SmokinWaffle]

Just saw this on FB and thought I recognised that drive...

 

This shape always tickled my pickle.

[Brodders]

Ooh, there are some good roffles at the moment.

 

I will take my usual number 52 please.

Running issue could be distributor based.

[Isaac Hunt]

Pops made a good job of that paint

 

That exhaust must have cost nearly as much as the car Is up for sale at.

[Unclefester]

27 good sir

[Iamgroot]

Stalybridge, Greater Manchester.

 

List will be updated when I get home. I'm out playing taxi in the Civic.

Thanks

 

I'll take number 8 if it roffles please.

[theorganist]

I shall have two randoms please. I would have thought these are worth saving now as they must be getting rare. Is this quite a rare spec?

[Ghosty]

Yes, the spec is rare. HML says 27 416GTis left, 13 manual and 14 auto.

GTi was the launch 'sporty' model in 1990, and only lasted until the facelift around K/L plate.

 

It gets a twincam head for its RELIABLE HONDA ENGINE, four electric windows, a sunroof, leather seats as standard (but this one has no cost option velour instead), a leather steering wheel, and alloys. That's your lot.

Compared to a top spec Honda it's a bit pants really, but it's still a nice car.

27 good sir

27 was already gone when you posted that thanks to random allocation. Would you like any other number off the list, or a random?

[Ghosty]

Running issue has been tracked down to a duff throttle position sensor. This will hopefully be fixed soon.

 

So let's have a bump.

[clayts450]

I never want to own a Honda engined Rover. Especially an automatic.

 

One random please

[bramz7]

Can I have another random? 

[worldofceri]

Surprised there’s not been more takers for this.

 

An random please.

[Ghosty]

I both am and am not surprised. I tried to roffle my last R8 too and I sold something like 20 tickets in about 3 weeks.

Have another bump up for the weekend

[Rod/b]

Ghosty did you fix the TPS?

[Isaac Hunt]

I had a faulty TPS on a R8 414. Made for proper Kangaroo Juice on pulling away. Different engine I knows but could have been same manufacturer of TPS. Were they made by the Prince Of Darkness, Mr George Lucas ?

[pandamonium]

I'll take a random

[Ghosty]

Ghosty did you fix the TPS?

Yes! The car now runs well.

 

Someone buy it for god's sake.

I may drop to £300/ £5 roffle - anyone?

[Sir Snipes]

I had an old copy of (I think) What Car and they rated a 416GTi over an E30 318iS.

[robinmasters]

My god, she's a beauty.

 

 

Put me down for a random please.
