Rover Sterling mathematical challenge. Calculate how many miles the car has covered and get to drive it home!

Wait, let's read further. This is the longest car description on ebay - I started writing this post at 4pm.

There is even a running commentary of the weather he he writes the advert.

Absolutely brilliant! 

As for the mileage, I don't think Pythagoras could solve that one. My head hurts just trying to think about it.

@SiC I know you've changed your mind but..currently £500 no reserve, in that Cornwall... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133759745712?hash=item1f24b3beb0:g:uWwAAOSwRN5gcLd8

Third time that's been listed! You can figure out the number plate in the pictures.

Both times before it "sold" for a shade under £3k

It's last MOT was in 2012 when it failed with the following:


Quite an impressive list! No wonder he took the plate off.

It's doing well! Bids are on almost £2.5k with near-on six days remaining on the listing. I note it's a private listing to 'protect the identity of the bidders' too. Clearly it'll be third time lucky* for him...

"I bought this car some years ago for my son to learn to drive"

how nice.

"he’s now just turned 17"

ok, time to put it to good use?

"bought himself 3yr old fiesta"

maybe not. No hard feelings?

"after years of keeping was wasted"

ok then, but why buy it so early?

I'm certain this was a stock rim on something, my brain keeps telling me FIAT, but even after a 1+ hour dive into the rabbit hole I can't find a match. It isn't Porsche 914, or Marcos GT, or Sunbeam Tiger. Grrr!

Could be from a Fiat 124 Sport or Spider

Talking of keys fitting, my Mum had a habit of locking the keys in her Metro, and one time, according to my Brother, she borrowed the keys from someone else's Metro & one of them fitted in the door lock!

You know those racks of numbered, single-sided keys you used to see in key-cutting shops? I have accumulated a few*. In rural Ireland, house keys used to be sold like that.

Well, I'm stealing a bit of that for my signature

Come to think of it, if he's gone to that great a length to explain the mileage, imagine trying to haggle with him on the price... 😖

a mini is my attainable dream car although always to skint for one.

"Goblin Girl" Insert joke here...
For sale by tender from the Nottingham site. What manchild wouldn't want this? I can't stop staring at it. 
Unfortunately, it’s sans keys, V5, MOT, boat engine and ancillaries. I can see VOSA getting well interested in GVW too on your first trip to Skeggy.

Me too, they have entered and exited the top 3 wanted cars several times now, but their reputation for being undergeared makes me uneasy, though I get the impression they are better than the equivalent Cortina...
