One bid £500 somebody got a good car.

Evidently they think they can make a quick £250 on it. Now for sale from Fakenham, Norfolk. £750 start.

Kinda looks like it knows what it needs to do.
Your car is bringing a refreshing touch of class to the streetscene, imho!

You need to squeeze the splayed branches of clips 14 and 15 to release several clips per weatherstrip. Needless to say, this involves removing the door cards and membrane. The intermediate ones aren't too bad, but where a lock prevents direct access, a thesaurus of expletives may be useful. When rel...

Thank you so much Mr Teddy Bear, got a great deal on the Saab and rover together on a 5000 mile policy.

Who provided that deal, please?

Well, it's recorded as having sold to a***a(116) for £1,280.00

Not H119 PSC by any chance?

Just looked up the original eBay listing. If the photos are to be believed, they are genuine Rover, and do look the same as my own set. Seller photographed the part number (RRC112050):

Apart from that [the nuts wont fit] they look exactly like R8 alloys! These all have some sort of T symbol on the outside of the rim adjacent to the valve.

Are the tails of the front bumper both correctly hooked on their support buttons (which screw into the wings)?

Now at £300 BiN.

Wonder what put people off last time? Auto box?

The seat cloth - that tweedy material, is probably functional rather than stylish - it looks very hard wearing - probably harder wearing than the Rover material.

Probably more hard wearing than any trouser material too!

The one in Stroud lived most of its life in south Bucks, Chesham area. ISTR back in the depths of winter one similar for sale through a dealer in Watford. Wonder if those were one and the same? Some dramatic wording re: sill corrosion in its MoT history. https://www.keeperscars.co.uk/used-cars/rover...

I did wonder why they'd cut a large circular groove right under the head, as it reduced the working diameter of the bolt and therefore it's strength. A sharp corner between the shaft and underside of the head is a no-no - it falls into the category of 'stress raiser'. Any imperfections in the regio...

Poorly listed as a 416 and only one, indistinct, photo - is it duotone? But reasonable asking price and no corrosion events on the MoT history.
£300 BiN, or offers.
