1990 827Si Auto

Post by Alex SBY » Mon Oct 24, 2011 2:46 pm

I've been having a bit of a thought. Since getting this car I've used it once. The journey home. That is it. Oh, and getting it out of the barn a few times to polish it.

It simply has not been used.

I've long had a view that if something is not used, then it has no real place in my collection. As I've got a number of other projects (and, to be frank, other cars that I want to pursue that interest me more than this one) I'm giving thought to moving it on.

Some details:

Car: 1990 Rover 827 Si Auto in Pulsar Silver
Mileage: 29k, fully backed up with service history.

Plus points:

Generally immaculate throughout. Everything works. No headlining sag, perfect interior, no tappet rattle. No rust whatsoever. Taxed until end of November, MOT until June. All handbooks present, original (working) Philips stereo.

Negatives:

Minor scuffs on bumpers, the odd very small "ding" on the bodywork (all easily repairable). Dashboard has 'blistered' but is not too noticeable.

Some pictures:

I thought I'd mention it here to start with, but I'll be popping it on eBay later this week. If it doesn't sell I'll mothball it for posterity!

As for price, well, I've a price in mind but I'm open to sensible offers. If you want to know more, please reply here or PM me. I'm quite approachable, honestly! :)

Why I am thinking of this for towing my trailer again? I thought I'd decided against an extra car but I find myself tempted now it's actually for sale. :roll: :lol:

Question is can I afford it? :lol: :wink:

Hit me with a price please.

Well as most will have seen of lot I've decided to have a change of direction.

Rather than start a new thread I figured I'd just bump this one as I've decided to sell the car.

Aside swapping the passenger door mirror and fitting Roversport alloys (16" 5 spokes) I've done nothing to it. I can include all the parts to change the interior to grey if required? :lol:

Nothing else has changed, the MOT is due sometime in June and there's no tax on it as I've never used it since collecting it from Alex.

I'm looking for £600. Anyone interested?

Space, mainly, plus the fact that it would spend 50 weeks of every year doing bugger all!

Returning this to topic, this is a lovely genuine old car needing very little to make utterly mint. I'd be lieing if I said I did not have some regret selling it and I'd not like it back, but I have give sensible.

Binning those God awful hubcaps for Roversports must have improved the look of it ten fold!
