Rover cars for sale

Post by rovercoup » Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:09 pm

Rover cars seem to at last, starting to be fetching/asking decent values. Over the last few weeks 800's in particular seem to valuing higher than ever before and long may that continue but just scratching around the web I have come across these which support my therory in that a good condition Rover model is worth hanging onto and keeping tidy.

Lovely bit of Rover Porn there Mr Coup!

Especially love that last 214SLi - really sumptious metallic blue paint. Can't decide whether it's Caribbean or not? I didn't even mind standing on my head to enjoy the pics of that one. Not expensive at all, for the condition, if you ask me...

Hmmm.... non of them sold though have they....
I still see plenty of £400-500 Rovers regularly pop up on Ebay, most of them don't sell either

Not everyone bought British gas or telecom shares neither but I bet you wouldn't refuse them now would you. Speculate to accumulate or just because you like them if you prefer. These condition cars will always find a buyer albeit sooner or later and as for £400-£500 cars there is reason why they are that low and don't sell. Don't forget 18 months ago you couldn't give away a KV6, not so much the case now is it?

Me either. :D Once bitten etc.


Personally I don't understand the fascination of the values increasing? As I saw Dave say the other week if he sold his for good money, what then?

I see it as a bit like house price increases, yes it's nice knowing my house is worth 3 times what I paid for it. But what good is it? If I want to move everything else has increased by the same rate.

Or maybe I'm just bitter and wish I'd waited 5 years longer to sell up? :D

I agree with you Chris and I for one do not intend selling my cars but feel it is more of recognition of the Mareque/Brand because for far too long Rover has been the butt of the car world and car owners in general.

It is nice to see that some are starting to appreciate what Rover made and stood for now they have been driving their euro boxes for the last 20 years. And yes you should have waited or not sold up at all?

I see what you're saying.

I don't regret selling up. I do miss the social side of things but not the cars.

What bothers me is spending too much money on repairs/restoration, major engine work , welding or resprays don't come cheap..
Am I just pouring money into a empty hole. :?

Having said that, i do like tinkering :)
I like doing small little things and sourcing spares to make my 800 the best it can be, just to enjoying driving it.

It would be nice to add some value though 8)

A reliable source tells me Adrian Flux (insurance) view any 800 as worth a minimum of £2k Dean - how does that compare to what you paid for yours? Has it added some value? :wink: :D

only if its written off Dave...

don't forget when I bought the fastback off Russ, he was about to scrap it cos he couldn't find a buyer and needed it gone.

does that make it worthless then ? :(
