excellent 1997 820si auto full mot for sale only 71k

[bradders90]

Hi there all im dave and im new to the forum, ive always been a massive fan of the rover sd1's (my dad had a business breaking and repairing rover sd1s in wolverhampton in the 1980/90s and im also a massive fan of the rover 800s.

I purchased my first rover 800 in October last year, ive only covered about 800 miles in it since ive had it but I purchased it for a second car so me and the misses could have a car each for work and its just abit too thirsty for me to use to work and back, I only work 4 miles away so the short journeys aint economical enough which is such a shame as its really killing me to sell it as I love it.

Its a 1997 r reg 820si auto, its got 6 cd multi changer in the boot with original rover cassette player etc, the whole car is original and Very good cond as you can see from the pictures, I am the fourth owner of the car, the first owner I believe was a elderly couple who had it serviced with stamps etc in the book until 2005 when it only had 20k on the clock.

Since ive owned the car ive had no faults all the electrics work which I believe is a rarity LOL, very smooth car gearchanges very smooth, no rust anywhere where I can see, its just passed its MOT on Friday with only advisories being pitted rear brakes and crack appearing in one of the tryes. The only thing I think needs looking at its the drivers side front and rear tryes seem to go low after a week or so but I just pump them back up again, I cant find any punctures etc and the mot place couldn't see any problems maybe the alloy'tryes need resealing but it hasn't really bother me.

ive pictured the small crack scruff on rear bumper and the unfortunate cigarette burn on front passenger seat.

Really is a beautiful car seems better than average condition for the year with low mileage, I drove it 250 miles to blackpool and back 2 weeks ago without any fault, any inspection welcome, I am open to offers, sad to see it go.

I will post some photos soon just trying to figure out how to post them lol

It's a nice looking car, Dave - but it might help if you can give us an idea of the asking price.

[bradders90]

Sorry for not including a price, I advertised it on gumtree for 700, lowest I would take would be 625, many thanks

[bradders90]

Not sure whether I actually want to sell it more I think about letting it go the more I want to keep it haha, not sure what to do

[TDHFastback]
