Has he tried the classic car insurance Mark? If he mentions rover 800 club at Lancaster insurance or Adrian Flux it may help on price.

I dare say fewer young men have been involved in an RTC in a Rover 800 than a poxy Citroen Saxo or Fester in the last few years, so much for risk assesment.

He's currently trying to find a way round it but sadly I'm now not optomistic for him.

£4000! :x brings a whole new meaning to "extracting the Micheal" that's just legalized theft!

Try Adrian Flux for the insurance Mark - i know of at least one member on here that has an 800 (in fact he has two) and still in the "young driver" age group and pays nothing like that for either of his and one is a Vitesse!
Cheers,

Disappointing to here that you have not had any confirmed offers on what is clearly a very good condition car with exceptional interior.

I feel for you Bill as your car deserves a decent new home and Distance shouldn't be a problem for anyone given the transport network in the UK. I think that most of us have more than one car so storage and use may be whats is holding people back.

Perhaps, if you can hold on for spring then that may bring out a few more buyers. Hopefully you can and will find a deserving buyer soon.

I had a couple of inquiries, but when it came down to it, they were just basically time wasters, and it is a shame, because it is a genuinely good car, and it wouldn't have taken that much for it to achieve the high standard that is there, I would do it, but I've just not got the health, nor the spare funds to bring out it's best, I'm disabled and can't work, but as there's no takers, I've closed the advert, that is unless someone actually makes an offer leaving a large deposit, but as for holding it for someone, that's out

Have you closed as you are keeping are just through lack of interest? Are there any exterior pics on the forum anywhere at all?

Hi there, sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we've been more than a bit busy with the Grandchildren, anyway, I closed the advert because of a lack of interest, however, someone appeared with cash in hand, and it is now sold

Hi there scooby, the guy looked very decent, he brought his Dad, wife and brother with him, he had a good test drive, then a good look round, inside both the boot and the engine bay, and he was really impressed with what I had to offer, I asked the guy what he intended doing with it, he told me my 800 was everything he was searching for, a good car, with scope for him to work on, he promised to make me proud of it when he finished, and, as sad as I was to see it go, I waved it farewell, with a big tear in my eye, really!
