Brad's 1995 Rover 827i poverty spec saloon

[Very Tall Brad]

Bought for less than the price of a pair of tickets to see Fleetwood Mac at the O2 in Birmingham.























It's had a new cambelt/water pump in last 13000 miles. Also a new spare tyre and fuel filler pipe.

The front door cards have wood inserts but the rears are standard non-wood door cards.



All in all, a non passenger airbagged, no rear elec windowed, non elec sunroofed, non air con'd car is quite a perverse treat.

There is one problem. No locking wheel nut key. I shall see if any of the ones I have here fits - you never know your luck.

There, fixed it for you.

Is that a similar oil cooler as fitted to the 820 turbo, it looks the same to me ?

Brad attacks wheel with axe, part deux
I think thats the first non leather black steering wheel I have ever seen, but this car does have a certain charm.
Who wanted to see Fleetwood Mac anyway
Nice buy mate, should be up the end of Feb to see this baby

Looks like a great car Brad as I said in the original ebay thread. The wheels look exceptionally clean.

Looking forward to it, Dave (seeing you, not Fleetwood Mac - although I did see Toyah in town today in her mac)

Toyah...........................in a mac, used to dream of doing things to Toyah Thats one classic I would gladly service.

Shall I go round and tell her? She's even shorter than you, by the way!

[dollysprint]

D'ya think she would take it as a compliment being called a classic?

Dave

[Very Tall Brad]

No.

[Very Tall Brad]

Battery flat and the car still needs some cleaning up. I have fitted a new scuttle panel, number plates and tow ball cover. Big deal!

[Very Tall Brad]

Update...

Fitted new battery and brand new grille (satin black vanes). Nice.

She was behind me in the traffic again on Friday. I tried to pass on your regards, Dave, but she wasn't listening. Just as well.

I have owned this for a year now and I am taking stock of things...would anyone be keen to take it on?

I have changed the oil, filter, air filter, Hondamatic and cleaned the interior. It has a new scuttle panel, new wipers and arms and it will be sold with a years MoT. There is a blow at the exhaust at the moment so this will be replaced in part or in full.

Jobs to do for the new owner...very little. A few scabs here and there and use it. The cambelt/water pump were changed recently (details to follow).

Of note is the fact that none of the alloys are porous or leak, all of the tyres, brakes etc are A1 and it drives extremely well. It is a brisk car. A huge bonus is it's simplicity - no air con etc to clag up the works.

I'll take £500 as a minimum.
