Anyone have any knowledge of this car, currently advertised on eBay. V564VUD 1999, 820 vitesse 2.0 in Essex?
Is it worth a small bid?

NO MOT, but he says it runs ok.
He says its all good , but me thinks it maybe a bit tatty.
Major dashlift
back window open
mirror bent
wrecked rear bumper , scuffs to front one.
cant see seat squabs in pics

Could be a decent motor with a little tidy up , but I wouldn't pay too much for it.

You mean this one then?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-ROVER-82 ... OSwNphWXLt~

Dash lift is fixable with a hot day (or a fan heater inside the car), a tub of Evostik, some spring clamps and pieces of wood to spread the clamping effect and i'm sure Dean has a back bumper for sale if you ask him nicely! :wink: :D

Other than that, it's a recent MoT failure needing welding, brake pipes, brake discs and several other major things including lower ball joints on the front and CV gaiters (can do the gaiters while the hubs are off to do the ball joints) and the horn and some bulbs need fixing :

n/s rear wheel bearing slightly noisey

Needs a front tyre as well. If you could get it cheap enough and do most if not all of the work yourself then it would be viable to return to the road. Failing that, it's a breaker sadly as on the face of it, it's a nice looking car.
It's done 87 miles since that MoT test - bearing in mind the name of the seller, it either broke down or was abandoned near them or they thought they could make a profit on it then found out what it needed for the MoT.
Cheers,
Dave

Those long lists of advisory and fail items mean either a very fussy MOT tester or a neglectful owner who only carries out maintenance to get a ticket.

I'd suggest the second option - the horn has been failed several times for example. Also there's nothing to say it was the same test station every time so maybe it's always had these faults and the bare minimum has been done to scrape it through.

Would make a good spares car though if it was cheap enough.

Dave

Thank you gentlemen for the information and comments. This car doesn't seem to have been loved/cherished by previous owners. I was thinking of trying a small bid but maybe it's more suitable as a source of spares.
Cheers, Chris

True, but it all sounds fixable if you are handy eough, (though prob not worth it if you are paying someone time)

You're welcome Chris and also welcome to the forum.

Some might say we've been over-critical but it's not impossible to put back on the road. For example, you could almost certainly fix the horns by fitting new ones for about a tenner, a new pair of budget radials for the front for about £60-70 (you'd have to get them fitted or fit them yourself), the anti-roll bar bushes are still available from Rimmers for just under a tenner each :

http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-RBX100500

then it's the welding, a number plate bulb and the brake pipes and a bit of a clean/grease of the front caliper and maybe a set of pads. The rear discs appear to be in need of replacement too but they have only been an advisory up until now so you could replace them through the year. Other than that, it's another bumper (or a roll of duct tape to cover the damage/sharp edges) and you should be within sight of a fresh MoT ticket. After that it would be a case of going through the car throughly, attending to things that have been skimped on over the years and putting them right but you'd have what is now a fairly rare car that should start to appreciate in value anytime soon.

Depending on your location and peoples personal schedules, you might even find that some help is at hand to get things sorted on it. :wink: :D
Cheers,
Dave

Gorilla glue for the dash lift. Mind it doesn't drip over anything else or that will be stuck forever too.
