https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1994-ROVER-827-2-7i-V6-AUTO-STERLING-CLASSIC-CAR-IN-WELL-ABOVE-AVERAGE-CONDITION/253385243058

 

 

 

What does this even mean?

Considering the average condition of these is having been made into bean tins and the odd washing machine, above average condition would begin with a rotten basket case half swallowed by a hedge, no?

 

The DVLA MOT site says it's a diesel (Rover 820) and it has repeatedly had emissions failures.  Another DVLA site says it's petrol.  The MOT site says the last MOT expired on 19th October 2017. The seller says 1st August 2018.  Very useful then. At £1795 it needs to be in a white room.

Awful cars regardless of it working or not. The piddly little turbo makes it no quicker anyway. If you want waft just get a Rover 800.

I have a Diesel Turbo one. Only occasional use. Goes very nicely. Still cheap to buy I expected trouble and thus far after 6-months is fine. They kind of grow on you.

I'm sure a diesel one is fine, but the petrol CT is abysmal. Very narrow turbo delivery, which confused the auto box a fair bit. And then if it decides to grenade (which mine did) it can't be rebuilt. Brilliant.

 

Only I would sell a nice PH1 XM for a lemon of a later one. The later dashboard is woefully made, and dull as heck. The whole point of a whacky Citroen is so you feel it inside too,it's no good driving an XM surrounded by a Xantia dashboard on steroids.

 

 

And breathe. I just really hated the one I had.

Cav is a genius.

"got other project on the go"

 

 

The mind boggles. I can visualise a 1988 Astra with a rear mounted Rover 2300 engine running three Ford VV carbs on a home made manifold made from angle iron and wood screws. What a hopeless wanker.

They were like a properly made Hillman Imp that worked as a car should. They were very good.

Sorry, how much was your Pinto Mark 3 Cortina for sale for again? Eight grand you say? I'll think on that.

He's from Wisbech. They've only recently learned to walk upright in the Fens.

 

I understand that's very close to the country whose name must not be mentioned?

I've seen that car when I was going to Fleet Hargate to visit grandparents. I'm sure someone's pronounced it as Wsbich

Wisbech is in Cambs, home of the flip flop with seven toe dividers. It's at the top corner, where Cambridgeshite meets Norfark and...........well, you know where.

Isn't there a cracking chippy in Wisbech?

I'm sure there is.

Yes mine is a manual 5-speed. 190,000 miles! But certainly well maintained - its a N. Ireland import funny plate and all, it even has French style yellow headlamps.  I agree about the interior. Seats nice and hard wearing velour but the dash thought functional does feel bland. The web tells me later cars better screwed together than earlier ones and I did turn down a Mk1 auto that would have come in a job lot with this. Sorry to hear your bad experiences. The inside feels like they were losing money on them and decided to cut costs to boost profits.

Well go on then. It’s not far from you. Shame it’s got a mystery drain and limpy mode. I am almost, after 6years, cured of my nervous tick developed with six years of Citroen c5 ownership and limp home modes. Bargain if you’re made of stern nerves ( think Rourke’s drift nerves).

Are you as daft as a fucking brush? This'll be right up your street then, as long as you give it a week after actually turning into your street.
