Re: For Sale 820 SLi Goodrunner, £450.00 only!

I'm afraid Rover were contractually obliged to build 600s with Honda engines and gearboxes. The only except being the diesels which were built by Land Rover (early ones were pilot built in Longbridge) and fitted with a Honda gearbox manufactured in Longbridge, but built under licence. Honda agreed t...

1998 Rover 620 SLI Auto, known to me since around 2000, it had been in the same family since 1999 from memory (first owner was Rover). I eventually bought it 18 months ago and I've used it regularly since.. It clocked over 70,000 miles on Friday just gone. Looks and drives terrific. I can email pict...

Trying to sell cars a PoL is a waste of time as you just get professional tyre kicking anoraks there to waste your time.

Re: 1999 Rover 820 Sterling Manuel T757CJR

Is there nobody out there for this car??? New starter motor fitted. New battery fitted. Brake fluid flushed through and changed on all 4 calipers. Weap from rad turned out to be one of those 'springy' hose clips going weak. Just out from a 2 day professional valet at a not inconsiderable cost. It lo...

Re: 1999 Rover 820 Sterling Manuel

There is no asking price yet. The amount spent so far on recommissioning (£700) is already in excess of the car's value which is probably around £300 -500 at the most. Credit to Lord Sward, though, for highlighting the defects That you for your insightful imput. From your judgement, the car is just...

Re: 1999 Rover 820 Sterling Manuel

I'd better list some faults; All 4 alloys could do with reconditioning. If it were my car, it would be a priority. The clear-over-base lacquer on the bonnet has spit/cracked peeled. It doesn't show in the photographs. There is a weep from the rad (either that or a hose). I do have a New/Old stock 82...
