Selling my runaround wheels :
It's a 1999 'T' plate, 3 door model, in dark blue with alloys and some semblance of a bodykit from the factory.
Standard spec includes: Electric windows, Sunroof, Front Fog Lights, Power Steering, Remote Central Locking, Immobiliser etc etc - It also has a Kenwood CD head unit fitted.
The car has covered 56k miles with a full service history, and was last serviced in April this year, when it was also MOT'd - Therefore MOT 04/11, and taxed till 10/10.
Recently (last week) had new front discs / pads, with the calipers and guides stripped and cleaned.
3 owners from new (me being the third), and was owned by my mother from 2002, after its first (lady) owner bought it from new. I took it on in April this year to keep my NCD going, and provide transport for whenever I'm up in Scotland.
The Rover has been a very reliable family car, covering minimal mileage and only used locally (till I got my hands on it - I use it to get back and forth to Aberdeen).
It's actually quite a rare model - It's got the 1800cc engine (118bhp) as fitted to the standard S1 Elise - Also has the same PG1 gearbox. It nips along rather nicely, with performance on par with the Mk2 VW Golf GTi 8v I once owned.
So in summary:
Good bits?
Been in family for 8 years - So I know how it's been treated for around 80% of its life! (It's never failed an MOT, for a start...
)Low mileage (56k) - Averaged 5k per year over its life
No signs of HGF - Temp nice and steady, with no mayo evident
Rare 1.8 model, with a bit of go about it (0-60 in 8.6sec) - Top spec for a 200 (Sunroof / Front fogs etc)
8 months MOT
New front brake discs and pads
Bad bits?
Usual few stone chips in keeping with an eleven year old car
Mark on the rear bumper where my mother reversed into a post (Only scratched the paint - Didn't deform the bumper).
Mild r*st scabs - Just starting on the OSR wheelarch, and the NSF wing. Verrrrry common on this model.
Sills are solid as far as I can see - As is everywhere else of note.
It's an ideal winter shed for someone - I'd keep it, but have bought the MX5, and struggle to justify owning one car; let alone two.
Here's some pics of the actual car - Private reg will be off by the end of next week.
Now sold - Thanks
