I bought this in 2003 and Martin Gludenscrude bought this off me around 4 years ago. It was in fabulous condition at the time and has obviously been well looked after.

This would fetch twice the Buy it Now price if advertised in America.

This car suffered a substantial rear end impact three years ago and a serious electrical fire in the engine bay. As a result ut stood unused on Martins drive for a very long time in all weathers. It has been well repaired on both counts by the look of things.

The leather interior was not factory fitted. It was fitted by me and was sourced by me from a 1991 Rover 820 Special Edition to replace the original seats which had been eaten by rodents some time prior to me buying it.

Although rare and nice to find for sale these days the full body kit was never factory fitted. These were always dealer fitted as an accessory. As a result, more chances for rot were caused where various holes needed to be drilled in the factory fresh paintwork.

I only know of one other such car with the Austin Rover body kit so this is a rare car as the seller says.

No surprise, given the new "owner's" track record: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-rover-82 ... 233a741ae5

Now £2500. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/827-vitesse-l ... 1304542949
I wonder what the price will be tomorrow? Higher? Lower? It's like some drug-fuelled, Rover-based game of "Play Your Cards Right".

Certain it was £3500 when I last checked , or £2000. It was both of those prices at some point in the last 24 hours, I'm sure!

Currently £2000

Sorely tempted to ring up in the style of Fonejacker's Terry Tibbs.

I think the forum member is having a little bit of fun here at our expense, for shall we say uncomplimentary remarks about him or his vehicles.

I think that he knows that the prices he has advertised will not be met so keeps moving the price up and down to tease and and give a little poke to the watchers.

If it is the case then :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
