A lot of cash for very little detail and poor photos.
Someone will definitely buy it.

Re: Price increase for the 800 then!
It would help if they could actually spell "Sterling" - it's not that hard, COPY IT OFF THE BOOT LID!!!!! Stirling is a place in Scotland, not the unit of currency of the British Isles, a measure of quality of silver or the flagship of the Rover 800 range!
As Chris said, very little detail in the ad, very poor photos and a very high starting bid. No doubt it's worth it to someone for a low mileage (41k from new and one owner i think it says) but because of its age i think vital servicing will have been neglected simply because it's not done the miles. For example, cam belt change, ATF changes, engine oil and filter changes, brake fluid change, tyres - the list goes on! No doubt as it's pressed into more regular service other problems will rear their ugly heads like bottom ball joints and so on.
If i had the money would i buy it? If the mileage is genuine without a doubt - then set aside another grand for the above mentioned service items and and few other bits yet to be discovered like maybe a new set of tyres.
But short of a near-future lottery win i haven't so it will have to stay there.

Dalmatian Nick - well spotted!
Seems a bit rash on the sellers part Tom! Especially as the tax disc in the photo ran out 31/03/97traineefarmer wrote:The seller seems to be offering 24 months of warranty!

Looks like a bargain to me, you don't often see a 4WD 800.

Very true! You don't often see them with an 800 engine or 2675 bhp either!
The MoT ran out 06/2007 which was 3 months after the tax on the windscreen in the pictures. I have a feeling he intended to start the auction at £100, pressed "Shift" to get the £ sign from the number 3 and then accidentally hit the 3 a second time, creating a starting bid of £3100.
The seller has only been on ebay since yesterday and if he (she?) is the partner of the "young lady" shown in the photos, she was knocking on a bit in 2006/7 (from the tax disc) so he's probably errrrr, "rather elderly" now and doesn't understand how ebay works or how to correct mistakes on it and probably thinks it'll be alright.
At £100 with no MoT and that crusty rear arch it could be worth a look but i don't belive the mileage now either!

Re: Price increase for the 800 then!
old biffer uses computer in library to upload photos to send to grandkids in austrailia, next thing he's listed his car and wife on ebay by mistake, she looks like a russian tank commander n all, back arch is hanging, that car has done 140k not 40k, if it has done 40k its lived outside and never been washed much or by the sea or both.
also maybe he means he took the photo in sterling whilst on holiday of the stirling.
