What is wrong with the man? that is way underpriced. Some lucky so'n'so is in for a right bargain. Anyone near Bodmin up for a new motor.

 

actually thats about right for a dealer selling a non T+T rover 25, even if it is a VVC

because

Now you know someone will come along and say that even if its too far gone to repair that it is worth more in parts.....

this is 100% true... i bet if that was in tip top condition and T+T it's still only going to be worth what, £900?

if tax costs £130 for 6 months and MoT costs £40 then you need to get the thing runinng 100% and through test for less than £430... just to break even, and if it needs tires you've got sod all chance of making any money

I wonder how close it is to teesside... might be worth getting to break for my brothers car :sofa:

 

Looks good for £300.

 

but its got no MOT and tax til end of this month.......with no idea whats wrong with it, its a gamble

 

Now you know someone will come along and say that even if its too far gone to repair that it is worth more in parts.....

 

somebody would probably have it just for the VVC

 

point is, its a dealer. if it was an easy fix they would have MOT'd it and put it for sale for full price

edit: looking the the pics, its either stone cold or its burning something

 

I would have snapped that up if it wasnt 260 miles away!!

 

After my last experience with one. no chance. i had to break it in the end. its a shame because this one will probably end up the same.

 

rover 25 1.8 GTi VVC

@Lezagog thanks for the heads up.

Bodmin and back.(210 miles) Picked it up and drove it back...
New tyres on the front - good ones on the back. Alloys good all round.
Body in very good condition.
Internals in good condition and all original. Exhaust not that old -sound.

Engine has water in the oil...small amount. (expected that as per conversation with owner)
No oil in water at all.

Drives very well plenty of poke no other mechanical problem evident.

Will post up pics this week. Nice project car for late summer.

 

Glad it's not gone to a breaker

 

+1 to that.

 

All VVC's are cheap now... I would buy but i can't for the same reasons as most, Insurance too high and petrol prices getting stupid :/

 

Ur very welcome m8, gd luck with the project

 

Rover 25 GTi 1.8 VVC in need of TLC and roof.

Here you go..bit of work but in the summer and the roof on the garage will be done shortly.

Just need a straw and you got your milkshake..Funny none in the cooling system at all...just the sump...and then not much.

Got a bit of work to do here..

Got some clear sealant in it but its clear no oil.

Body and tyres and inside all good.

Like the colour and the car. Would not break it will sort it out and keep it, son has eye on it but it would cost a fortune to insure him on it, (24 yr).

Looking forward to working on it.
