DoctorRetro Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 With the imminent arrival of my next car, I wondered if the Rover would successfully roffle.. Only one way to find out. One ticket - £3 Two tickets - £5.00 Three tickets - £7.50 Any more and I'll refer you to a good psychiatrist. Roffle will not be collected /drawn until my son approves the sale, but you might as well get your names in early. Rover 218D. No turbo, Lucas pump, 60ish bhp. 210,000 miles. Loads of faults, will list separately. Runs and drives OK though, have been using it daily. The 'modifications' are removable, and can be taken off before you collect. Roof rack not included. 1.

DoctorRetro Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Fault list. Noisy on startup. Never fails to start though. Blowing exhaust. Flexi I think. Headlining fucked. Paintwork ruined. Gearbox very sloppy. Mirrors are universal replacement ones stuck over cracked ones. Boot needs slamming to close. Holes in roof where roof rack was mounted. Interior not as clean as I'd like. Leaks a little oil and water, nothing major. Speakers shit and cd player just jammed in. Terrible sill repairs, but passed mot like that. Side trim mostly missing. I'll edit as I remember more. Good points. Reliable. Yes, really. Mot until Jan 2020. Economical, I've achieved 50mpg. djim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Is that a squash racket handle for a gear lever? This would be great if you’ve got one of these jobs in an office block and all the anodyne boring people you work with all have Audi A3 and buy their garden furniture from Asda. Their faces when you arrive every morning driving this erratically would be a picture. Guaranteed demotion. I love it!

DoctorRetro Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 It's an umbrella handle, that was meant to look like a Samurai sword. The umbrella broke. And yes, I do have an office job, and the car park consists of: Volvo S40, SEAT Leon, Nissan Juke, Vauxhall Corsa and various travelling managers & directors often arrive in their Mercedes / BMW executive company cars too.

DoctorRetro Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Right. Brake squeak fixed. Generous amounts of copper slip applied.

busmansholiday Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I've had a few beers, so should I buy a ticket (or two) for this, or PurpleBargeKen's rather nice 45?. Which would Mrs BMH prefer to win, given we went to look (and were too late) on a Wedgewood blue auto Rover recently? I'll decide tomorrow.
