Amadeus Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 For Sale - The one and only, Amadeus approved, Pokermobile: 1991 Rover 827 Sterling Automatic Don't panic - it's only half a Rover: Engine, Gearbox and Steering are from Honda, as they co-operated at the time, so it won't break down every 10 miles... Engine: 2.7l V6 24V by Honda BHP: 177 Torque: 168 lb ft It's quick to say the least.... Specs: - Racing Green - 67K on the clock - Full Leather upholstery - Active Power Steering (light when slow, heavy when fast) - Electric Seats with Memory (Works fine on driver's side, passenger's side is kinda working..) - Electric tilt/slide sunroof (working and dry in the rain!) - Electric mirrors (both still in place) - Electric windows x4, and all working - Aircon / Climate Control (still reasonably cold) - Huge boot - Alloy wheels (x5) - Alarm / Immobiliser - ABS - Front and rear armrest - Cruise control - Folding rear seats - Adjustable steering column/wheel - Clarion stereo with 6x CD changer (the stereo sounds ace, but the CD changer doesn't really work - might only need cleaning, but I never bothered...) - Remote central locking with "Comfy Close" (keep the button pressed and roof/windows close) - Taxed until the end of April Now the not-so-good bits: - Not much rust for the year, but bubbles have started appearing here and there - A few scratches here and there as well - Noisy tappets - Noisy CV joints (want replacing) - Needs a service - It has just decided to start losing coolant, resulting in most of the anti freeze on board dripping on to the pavement. First suspicions are it's a hose at the bottom of the radiator (you can see where it's dripping from), but I haven't fixed anything yet, as it needs to go anyway. - It obviously has the stickers on it, but they come off easily - if not, then I can get you some stuff to make'em come off... The 827 Sterling was Rover's top-spec model at the time, the best of British engineering so to say, costing nearly 30.000 Pounds new! All yours for: £ 25.000 £ 15.000 £ 5000 £ 3000 £ 2500 £ 1000 £ 500 £ 250 £ 50! That's right! 50 quid buys you this magnificent motor! Reason being, that I can't be arsed spending any money on it, and I've decided to drive my Jag instead, so no money left to look after two fuel guzzlers... If no-one wants it for that price, then I'll sell the alloys and crush it, which should get me 50 quid anyway - but if you want a luxury motor to work on (and it does need work doing), or a pretty quick stock car for Onchan park in the summer, then PM me or email to amadeus@manx.net. Price includes Haynes Manual btw! Pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
