Alexg Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Were there any pre-facelift V8s? 425th off the production line is probably in reality pre-launch production, Rover would have produced perhaps a couple of thousand ready for the launch so that every dealer could have some in the showroom and whoever had put their money down beforehand. True pre-production are often cubed because they don't meet type approval or to save on tax.Here’s one. It’s not an Estate mind, but an SE and perfect in every other respect... bar the price. £12000. www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201803104438159 somewhatfoolish and oldcars 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Crikey. It's only gone and becomeof nonsense from me. I'm so sorry. To celebrate, how about a forgotten 90s car with a 80s engine, the pre-widebodylift Alfa 155 Alfa Romeo 155 1.8 T.Spark It has no cambelt, it’s a chain. It’s had no accidents or bumps or scrapes, it’s recently had a re-sprayFull service history £3,500 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201803094411128 I miss my old 155. Doesn't seem expensive this one, what with the old 8v engine instead (late-plate madness) this MUST BE the most classic and collectable TIPO ever. Probably.

Ghosty Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Either I know this or it's Ghosty's old car.This is indeed my old car. Ad neglects to mention that the head gasket's been replaced, but the cambelt/exhaust are news to me (unless he thinks I did the cambelt, I didn't). Seems to be in much the same condition except there's a dog in it now and the repair to the arch has failed - but I think it was just fillered for the MOT. Sills seem to be going again too. He's selling it at a loss as he only bought it off me for £400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 To slightly paraphrase Julius Caesar : I saw, I came, I bid. Let's hope someone outbids me, otherwise I'll be in serious trouble...I contacted the seller about the 504 as I was also going to bid. The engine froze recently throwing out a freeze plug (his words) and blowing the gasket, possibly worse. It's also rather bubbly in places, mostly on the front wings and door bottoms. It's the engines woes that put me off... Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
