820 Tickford stainless steel exhaust system for sale

This is off a Tickford 800 but with a little work on the middle section flange could be made to fit any 800 easily. Looks to be in good condition aside a little oil on it. :lol: It's 2.5" pipe and there's a decat attached to it as well. I'll let that go with it. Looking for offers in the region...

Re: Need to scrap a car...

Re: Need to scrap a car...

800s have two types of cats on them, the older up to 96 cars were 'proper' cats. Most of the post 96 cars had ceramic/euro cats. It sounds as if that's what Rover used across the board at that time?

Re: Towing Laws

The AA tow on the motorway with straight bars As do I, it's a very grey area in my experience. My advice is whatever you do make sure you're doing it as well as you can. ie no silly speeds etc. I either use a trailer board or stick a plate of the towing car on the rear and a plate saying 'on tow'. ...

Re: motor trade insurance

I'm with Tradex as well, though mine's not a full on trade policy. They've changed my policy this year from what they called 'Enthusiasts' to 'Homefleet'. Price went up as well naturally. :annoy: I first went with them in 2002, back then you needed to be over 21 with 2 years experience/NCB. As said ...

They usually give you a year to sort it. As long as the SORN is up to date and contiues on from the Tax as it says above. You can get away without MOT as well for up to a year.

Re: Show us your garage / shed

Evening all, I don't get here much these days but couldn't resist posting in this thread. I have several storage areas for my car/Rover 800 habit. Here's a few pics. This is garage number 1. It's full of 800 parts. Most things you can think of. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b20/CHR15E/Parts/DSCF...

Re: 800 Limo!

Pretty sure it's not a 2L. It was on ebay the other week being sold as an 827 when it's actually an 825 (KV6).

Went for £1930 I think.

Looks like it's been bought and cleaned and put back up for sale?
