1990 model Rover Vitesse 827 MANUAL

[Very Tall Brad]

Registered 1.12.1989
148000 miles
6 miles since last MoT undertaken May 4th 2007.
Everything works
No overheating, no sloppiness, no exhaust blows...nothing. It drives like a dream.
Single CD unit as shown comes with the car.

Bad points:

Paintwork. The car spent it's early days on The Isle of Man, then Cornwall. The car has a number of minor blemishes but little in the way of rust scabs. In this respect, it is solid. However, the whole car looks like it's had too much sun as the lacquer is peeling on every panel. I call this car "Scabby". The drivers side front wing is very bubbled on the arch. I will include another very good, straight wing (unfitted and not red) for the buyer.

Headlining saggy towards the rear.

Rear spoiler has erupted but just need flatting and filling and painting.

Wheels are okay but need refurb'ing. All centre caps are present.

It is being sold as I am not a manual gearbox fan and will never get round to painting it as I have too much on at the moment.

It will be sold with 12 months MoT but this will reflect in the price.

What's it worth either with or without MoT? (I paid £325 for it April 2007).

I really like that, that looks a good project for someone. Sadly not for me at this time, good luck with the sale.

Thanks, Rich. All it genuinely needs is some paint and a headlining fix. As I typed the post, I asked why I wasn't doing it myself. Then I remembered how much I have to do at the moment...building my 8 car carport, installing a bathroom, running my business at 80 hours a week, sitting on the Board of an NHS Trust, Chairman of the School Governors, mentoring sixth formers at a High School, managing 6 acres, maintaining 50 cars and being dad to two young kids. Time only stretches so far, doesn't it?

I am tired!

Any other colour and I'd have been interested.

Change it then. It does need completely respraying.

[MG Mal]

That could be a real looker if done right.

Any idea's as to what would it cost to get its faults + paint sorted out?.

[Very Tall Brad]

It has no faults. It just needs the headlining glueing/replacing, repainting and the wheels refurbishing. And that's it!

A repaint could be as little as £200/300 if you prepared it yourself. To have the job done properly with all lights etc removed...about £600? It's non metallic so pretty simple.

Fair point, too much on already. Want to get my sterling done first.

I thought you said you didn't need sleep?

I lied. I must have been so tired I was delerious... Three hours one night then nothing the next used to be normal...now I do need a bit more...especially with the stress of the money markets playing on my mind so much...I didn't realise stress was so knackering...

fancy doing a swap?

[Very Tall Brad]

No thanks. I need some space freeing up as it's jammed up with cars here. Thanks anyway.
