Be like @Lord Sterling @RoadworkUK in a fetching biege, Currently £435, in Coventry, no reserve

Beige with red piping and carpets is a pretty strong look! I've always thought it would be pretty fly to have a suit made up to match mine, in beige with blue piping. Set of nice blue espadrilles and that would be quite the ensemble.

Re the above motor, I'm guessing it's a boggo 820i which would originally have had placca trimz, hence it's been 'upgraded' with a set of alloy rimz that are about five years older than the car. Also, I read the "original cambelt" bit and was about to sound the apocalypse klaxon, but it's only a tool eater and and those are a piece of piss to get belted up. Verdict: If you want a Rover 800, that is one.

You know what they say about buses? Well here's a 3rd one, probably my favourite, and predictably the most expensive. £1347 so far. Some natter about having rebuilt carbs, but aren't they fule injection? I'm probably wrong.

Oooof!! 

Yep, for all that £££ you could be me + enjoying the added pizazz of 'keep fit' windows.

I think I may be custodian of an Appreciating Asset ;)

EDIT .... Kill for that factory 'tool roll'  ?

 

Do you need one of those tool holders then? I have one or two spare in black, big enough for wheelbrace etc.

Budget in for a new chassis £1500 ish for someone to do it. It’s been a false economy to do any chassis welding for decades now, far cheaper to bite the bullet and swap the chassis.  And hope they haven’t been driving round in this weather with the grill muff on.

Given its current state I think it’s far too expensive.

RE the grill muff - do their air cooled engines get some sort of thermal fatigue or something?

Nice! 820 was the ace of base with the 8v carb’d four pot. Must be fucking slow with the auto box!

Hail, good fellow :)

I just feel a 'black vinyl bag' containing Toyota lug spanner + jack spinner rod would be making a 'factory' Full Set. I have a set of Chink items, bought from Fleebay, so the car needs nowt  ;)

I have a 'netting boot bag', blagged from some millenial, so could secure in position if need be....

Given it's also in a classified at £7700, I'm hopeful* I've not got some explaining to do to Mrs BMH.

that looks like an 8 valve o-series engine with su carb to me. which i'd rather have over an m-series.

the m was crap as i remember, whereas the t which followed it was awesome-ness personified!

s-l1600.jpg

wasn't the 820e a model that had a very short production run?

and i'm amazed that there are any mark 1 820 fastbacks left, i have no idea when i lsat saw one running wild and free.....

This isn’t the best example of the breed, and I’m not sure that it’s cheap to compensate for it. I’m not the only one that thinks that, as it’s been for sale for ages.

But golly, these lines have aged well

and this dash is simply magnificent. Looks like it still works as well.

'e' was a mainstay of the range, rather than a bit of an odball quirk like the 8v O-Series.

820 = 8v O-Series with SU carb

820e = 16v M-Series with single point fuel injection

820i = 16v M-Series with multi point fuel injection

205Gti 1.9 for £11995, with possibly one of the worst dealer-fit bodykits of EVAR. And is someone going to tell him the rear quarter doesn't match the door? Verdict: Salty.

I've said before, I'm a fan of the 309Gti, and this one is an absolute honey, even though it's a Phase 2. Proper low miles (15600) and in the best colour. BUT HFM?????

 

No, more.

 

More than that.

 

£20,994.

From the same seller, Pisshat Estate. Back in the day we raced one of these at Arena, and at Mildenhall in the "Non-Ford" formula. It was something like 25kg within the maximum weight for the class, and could not be killed. We got 4 meetings out of it before an unfortunate incident with a welder set it on fire. (It wasn't me.)
