k reg rover 414 10,000miles only! T&T Whats it £££

bumpty

considering the milage/condition as its near mint, what are my chances of getting £1000

yeah not overly fussed about selling at the moment if somebody wants it for £1000ovno then all would be good, it will have T&T on it when its sold as its in daily gentle use, its my fathers car & it gets a wash & wax once a week, still has factory plastic covers on the seats! smells new still!

my old man has rust proffed the underside/box sections, its had a cambelt & waterpump as my old man would'nt trust the original even though the miles are so low!

no its the full bakedbeans 16valver the early 16v models were actually better than the later k-series motors, i know if a turbo charged 1.4 early k-series putting out 300hp no issues at all on standard head gaskets/plastic locating dowls! suprising really

once the multipoint injection came in the k-series suffered with HG issues then later on again when they dropped it in the freelander they more or less sorted the problom out

the exhaust really is the only sticky point, my old man bought it cause it was cheap £64 for a full stainless system but its got a bit of a barry boy bacbox-he is actually looking into making it quieter but retain the low tone burble

my old man is retiring soon so has a hankering for somthing really lairy fast! hotrodder at heart you see! the rover has just been his daily for too/from work & because the exhaust is a bit loud if you put your toe down he tends to pootle about so as not to draw attention + it keeps the mpg to a really good level - which is no bad thing

Any pictures of this please? Also, where are you based? How many owners on the V5, and any paperwork etc to verify the miles?

Thanks

these are the only pics I have at the moment, my father has had the cambelt done even though the milage is so low, we thought it best as the car had been sitting in a gargae for so long, he also had the alternator belt done as you can see in the pics
it does not have power steering, its an early model rover 414, its fine once you get used to it, as i say its been in daily service for over a year up until last friday which was my fathers last day, he does'nt want it hanging around he wants it to get used & looked after, it has great JDM oldschool honda look potential! shocks are a piece of curse word to swap on these! civic coilovers fit this body type!!!! so you can drop it properly on the cheap! the reassurance of not dealing with a rusty old car has gotta be a plus point, the engine is fine also! as is the box, still has a new smell to the interiour!!!

it on ebay from the 10th of jan

£500 doesnt seem too ridiculous, gotta be honest though, mega low mileage usually means 'unmessed with' - if you've put a set of coilies on it, a boy racer exhaust and gone round painting the bumpers and rear panel, its not really a low-mileage minter anymore is it, its just another old rover R8 with a few barry mods.
