Holy shit. Saw the pound signs flash right in front of my eyes when I saw the attached plate. And a Rover 800 at that money!!

Sadly, all is not quite as it seems :(

No room at the inn either :(

Can hear the beavertail transit coming from 50 miles away and that sweet KV6 bombing around the oval already... 

Hmm, so you possibly wouldn't even get the plate, if it's supposed to be on a 600

I have the money, but I'm also meant to be working on and clearing down 2 or 3 vehicles next week. I've just today started to be responsible and order parts to do this rather than buy another car...

Have you bought it yet?

I've just seen that come up on my feed as well, seems cheap for what it is

It's over at CR Allens by the look of it, I used to know a couple of lads that worked there but no idea if they're still about. I'm assuming it's a customer car or something. There used to be a bloke in Newhaven with a pair of 240's, I swear one was identical to this. I think I should go have a look if it's still there Monday.

I'd have considered it myself if I had the space to keep it, but even if I did I'm not going to have any time to do it up. My "moderns" have jobs queueing up as it is! It's a shame because I imagine there's probably not really much up with it, just normal 30+ year old car problems

Me thinks an MoT tester put down the wrong model on a test.

Checking the actual car details shows it has a 2497cc engine and the last log book issued in April 2022. It would need a current MoT to get the plate of it as it has been off the road for over 5 years.

Oh don’t worry, I’ve got no space or time either 😅 when was the last time you saw a 240 for £500 Ono though, got to be worth buying, cleaning and having a poke around.

Ooh. 1988 Maestro Vanden Plas automatic. Palatial. Same cloth seat trim as my sister's old 1.6 Mayfair.

Picture 3 of 12

£1,995. MOT October 2023

Can you imagine the luxury of one of these combined with the muscle* of the 2.0 EFI?

Neither can I. It will remain a wet dream, as far as motoring goes.
