This looks really nice, and it's less than £100!

Road tax fully paid (£152) until July 2017.

 

Even better value! I don't have to tax it. 

 

I wonder why someone would be selling a nice Rover 25 so cheaply? I wonder if there is a reason for this? For this to happen?

 

The flaw: After 30mins driving the water starts to boil. you may be able to drive for 40mins however it will start to boil so the water cooling system needs repairing.

 

Oh, weird.

 

PERFECT AS A FIRST CAR.

the previous owner had refurbished the car and took it to the mot station but was unable to mot it due to another car having the same chassis number and reg

 

Ouch.

For God's holy sake, I urge you all to NOT read the rest of the ad.

I did ten minutes ago and my mind hasn't stopped boggling yet.

 

You have been warned!

I know, the entire ad is one sentence. 

 

I wonder if the other car had a current MOT? In that case, problem solved.

WTF is he doing to that Cromer crab?

He's sexing it. Best done in bright sunlight after the crab has been rested in a musty car boot for 24 hours.

All of them?

 

Well, yes, all of them!

I was going to put a 2.0 8 valve injection engine in it and build an Sri replica estate similar to a magazine feature car I had seen. Due to too many on going projects and another baby on the way I have decided to not build the project and sell the car original and as a runner.

 

Thank fuck for that! (see what I did there?)

Since my uncle is 93 and while he claims to have good eyesight there is now a dent in pretty much every panel (the roof is o.k.)

 

 

Some bits of leather are coming detached from their backing panels too

 

OMG, dear little uncle is an old tiger, look you!

 

 

 

The mechanic who looked this over tells me this…

 

 

There is an oil leak underneath. He couldn’t tell if it was coming from the engine or gearbox however I read that the gearboxes are sealed for life items this one may be trying to make a break for it! There are no odd noises but a new gearbox could be the best part of £1000.

 

That would have been the very last time this mechanic would have looked over any of my cars.

For piss taking I'm certainly not reliant on external assistance.
