2.7 LPG Sterling Saloon for sale

Post by GeeJay » Wed Jun 17, 2015 11:33 am

Hello, there. I've decided to sell my Sterling and I wanted to offer it on here first. It's a 1995 metallic blue saloon with LPG and the 2.7 engine.

I bought the car in 2002 and ran it as my daily driver until I changed jobs and moved across country in 2011. I parked it up with the intention of taking it to my new house once I got settled, but that hasn't happened and I now realise I should pass it on.

The Rover and I covered 114,000 miles together, including about 13,000 miles in the year before I parked it up. When I stopped using it, it was a dependable and comfortable companion with the usual cosmetic issues, but it's now looking very sorry for itself. It will need some welding, tyres, exhaust and bodywork plus the usual things that go with getting an old car through an MOT after being lying around. I have run it up the road several times a year since 2011 and it's always performed well, but I haven't taken it out since February.

I have a full history file for the car including the service books and a spreadsheet of all the work I've done and had done on it since I've owned it. It's standard except for the LPG conversion.

The car has - both keys and fobs; tan leather; LPG with spare-wheel tank (always worked great); tow bar (just towed a trailer), usual dash lift.

It would be good to see it back on the road, but I know it will be a good source of parts to improve other Rovers.

Offers are invited.The car is in West Yorkshire. Please let me know if you would like any more information or photos (I can't work out how to post them here).

I've put some photos on photobucket. Some of the external photos are about two years old and the bodywork has deteriorated since then. Most notably, the OSF wing has rusted through behind the wheel where the mud flap attaches, the OS door mirror has been knocked and broken and the OSR panel was knocked by a neighbour while parked (all shown on one of the photos from last week)

The LPG certificate says it is a Tartarini TEC 97 with a 75 litre tank.

Hi. The car's in Pontefract. Now I've decided to sell, I'd like £400 but we'll see how it goes once I've had some interest. I'd prefer for it to be put back on the road, but I might break it.

I think it's a case of wherever you are the cars aren't, wherever you live. :lol:

I've travelled lots of miles over the years for cars as I too found they weren't round here aside a few. I was always happy to fetch scrappers and cheap stuff. Though everytime I travelled for something supposedly worth having and dearer, almost everytime it wasn't as good as they said. :roll:

Hi. I'm happy to vary the price for an uncomplicated sale. A straightforward sale is of more value to me than what I get for it at the moment.

I always think the opposite. There have been some Mk1s recently waaaaaay darn sarf. I am considering a base model as a donor for my white one or perhaps to transfer all the goodies to another running car, a white 1991 J plate 820i.... see my dilemma here.

Space is a very dangerous thing! :lol:

While we all want what we don't have, I think having less space and concentrating on just one or two cars is far better and cheaper :D than lots. I've done both and having too many can spoil the fun IMO. Well it did for me anyway.

This from one of my bad points. :D

Not hiding no, ran out of space and had an issue with a so called mate and ended up fetching back spares cars. Hence no room left anywhere.

This is not even from my worst period. :roll: 14 cars and a van was the peak but that was some time back. Only 12 cars and a van here (the van's through the side).

This is from 2010 I think. I think it's ironic that only 1 (sort of) these cars is still owned by me. The Espace on the drive is what later became my trailer. All the rest aside the Clio and Jeep which were sold have since been scrapped for one reason or another.
