2.0 n/asp auto, originally registered in Peterborough from the number plate R497 MFL.

In very nice condition from the look of things but likely to be corroded somewhere nasty because of the sea air.
Cheers,

That begs the other question - why is a car no longer local? At one time, some people would only ever buy a local car because all the dodgy cars (the ones forever breaking down) were shipped off to different parts of the country to be sold on the second hand market to some unsuspecting mug with some story like "it was part of a cancelled fleet order sir" or "it was a company car, the firm went bust and the recievers are in this area" or something similar

"Fantastic Rover 800 Auto (Saloon)

1998 ROVER 800 finished in unmarked "night fire" red, with a beautiful smoke grey piped valour interior, star alloys with excellent tyres all round "A top notch car" MOT until NOV 2015. This car must be seen. Drives just beautifully. This is not the run of the mill Rover 800, it's simply stunning! "

With a description like that must be good.....until you look at the picture of the tyre and see the bulge. Just maybe not as good as described elsewhere too, but of course it just could be.
Recommend changing the "Triangle "tyres for some better known round ones.

"You will not be DISSAPOINTED with this Rover 800!!!" - no, just dead when that tyre blows out on the motorway on the way home!

The seller could use a dictionary to spell DISAPPOINTED - perhaps he'll take a p/x against one of The Concise Oxford English Dictionaries against the car.....................

Just in case one of you is thinking of buying what in the pictures looks to be a reasonable 800 I think you should read this first
http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Triangle/TR918.htm Looks like just the make of tyre for a wet Scotland.
