Hi
My mum has a blue G reg Rover Sterling 827 Si with blue and grey striped upholstery . She needs to move and cannot take the car but would love it to go to someone who could do it up. It has been sitting on her drive for a few years and does not go, so would need to be collected from Huntingdon area. I have some photos and could email them to you if anyone is interested.
If so, please would you contact me asap or it will have to go to breakers, maybe on / soon after 25th Mar.
Thanks
Sandra

Hi Sandra.
Could you post up a few more details such as milage, numbers of previous owners, service history, what needs doing etc . That sort of thing.
They might persuade someone to pick up the phone and call you.

Is it a saloon (4 door) or Fastback (5 door)?

Thank you

Hi Sandra
Could you email the photos to tr7sprint@talk21.com and I'll get some clever person to post them up here.
Time is short but perhaps it can be saved and thank you for trying to save it.

Regards

Re: Blue Rover 827Si UPDATE!

Post by sandy36 » Sat Mar 28, 2015 12:36 pm

Hi
The car has had a 'stay of execution' for a few more weeks, so there's now more time for you to ask questions and hope that one of you might make an offer. Mum has recently been told it's worth about £500.
I've emailed photos to Kyle today who has kindly offered to upload them, so watch this space!
The mileage is 141354 - you may be able to see this on one of the photos.
It has 4 doors and a boot. Interior upholstery is blue striped velour. 1st registered on 26.3.90. Mum thinks she was told the head gasket may have gone? Tyres are flat. I'll get back to you about service history. I think mum had it from new.
She still wants it to go to someone who she hopes will do it up, or at least use it to rebuild another... and love it as much as she has done!
Any other questions - please ask.
Sandra

Very nice indeed. I've never seen the rear screen rubber seal pucker up like that before. I do like that upholstery 8) . Pity we can't confirm the head gasket situation as that will dictate price.

Hi again.
I now have a bit more info:

The car was bought by mum on 13.3.93. It had two previous owners. It's an automatic with a petrol engine. It was regularly serviced & MOT'd until 2009. Think it overheated and Mum didn't have the money to get it repaired. She's happy to accept offers - around £400? It needs to be gone by June/maybe early July at latest, so please get in touch if you can help to rescue / re-use parts / save it from being crushed. A project for someone??

Thanks for your interest & your comments.
Sandra

Just found this thread and if i had more room i'd probably take it on but in all honesty with a suspect head gasket (very unusual for an 827 though - who "diagnosed" the head gasket? More likely to be the expansion tank causing an overheat or maybe the water pump given the mileage) then £150 is in the right kind of area sadly. I've paid less for cars that were running with no major faults and had been in daily use to be honest.
That said, i do appreciate that your mum has had the car a long time and is obviously attached to it and understand the offer might be a bit on the low/borderline insult side but whoever valued it at £500 probably meant with no obvious faults, running and preferably with an MoT - check ebay "Completed Listings" to get an idea of recent prices/relevant conditions.

I hope you/your mum accepts Pauls offer or a similar one to bring it back to life - in years to come the lower spec i, Si, SLi models will become rare as not so many people are saving them just now and they may even command more money than a Sterling, Vitesse or coupe because of that rarity.
Cheers,
Dave

The registration number on this car reminds me of this Two Ronnies sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-mX9T2qyIQ
