Sorry. Unless Rich changes his mind, the car is now his. Thanks

Just have to find somewhere to put it :D

Seriously it's going in the garage for a few weeks (end of Jan) when it will be MOT'd etc. I saw some brand new front brake calipers on flea-bay for /£40 so i'll get one of those to replace the sticky one. After which i'll play it by ear to be honest.

Congrats mate. If it wasn't such a hassle to get a car over the pond I would have taken it.

It was a pile of rubbish in all honesty.

God knows, Rich gave it me after deciding not to do anything with it. I pulled a few bits off, filled it with scrap and weighed it in with the 825 on the wagon.

It wasn't that bad when I first got it from a nice man in Kent called Lucas Lee but, like a lot of late Mark 1 cars, it suffered badly with dodgy electrics and severe condensation issues. The car needed trailer ink as it was a non starter and had stood outside his house for some time. I can't recall why it wouldn't start but it was an easy fix, I remember. The inside was never dry. I kept it outside which was a mistake and, at the time, had over 70 Rover 800 cars so it never really got the attention it needed.

One best forgotten.
