Rover 827 Coupe

Post by SJG » Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:20 pm

Just testing the water here...

Due to my gold Coupe requiring additional welding to the inner sills (so the sills I have had made can be fitted), and due to the additional expense this is incurring, I wanted to see if anyone would be interested on taking on my nightfire 827 coupe. This would mean I would be in a much better place to pay for the additional welding and I have to be realistic - the red coupe is going to cost me money in the future to get it to standard I try and achieve with my cars.

The engine and gearbox are fine, the interior is in very good order, the front wings are in excellent condition and the driver side rear wheel arch is in excellent condition, generally the car is in a good original condition.

The following needs attention:

Both outer sills need replacing - Which I can supply!!

There is a small section of the passenger side rear quarter that needs a new section, it is just by the lower black trim cover.

There is a small section in the boot rain channel that needs cutting out and replacing.

On the driver side there is a small section of the floor by the sill that needs a section replacing.

Obviously I cannot tell you about the condition of the inner sills - based on my experiences this week with my gold coupe.

Because of the way the car is positioned in the garage at the moment I cannot get underneath the car to look at the condition of the passenger side floor sections.

If anyone is interested please get in touch by private message and we can discuss it further and agree a price.

The car is currently on SORN and has no MOT so would require trailering away.

Dangling a Nightfire coupe with cream interior in front of my face - that's a mean trick!

I know but it's just the vehicle I'd want if I was still in the UK

Yes, I believe I have outlined what is required as honestly as possible.

As there seems to be no interest in this car I am thinking that it might be best to scrap it. What items should you remove from an 827 that can achieve a return?

Other than the obvious items (filler tube and expansion tank), I am still not very familiar with the 827.

The front wings as well seem to be a common theme.

Apologies if this is something you've already done, but have you considered at least offering it on gumtree/car and classic? I know it can be a pain dealing with the wider public, but I would imagine most people on this forum already have enough 800s (ie one!) to keep them busy during the winter months and at least it would broaden the audience.

Good luck with it whatever you decide to do, you deserve an easy straightforward sale when you've been so honest in the write up.

Hello Simon

If only you were closer, this would finish off my nightfire red collection perfectly, bugger!

I can take some parts if you decide to scrap it.

Regards

Ian

I'd love to give you £400 for it. I'm not sure it's practical for me to collect it!
