Rover 216SE Cabriolet now sold

[John Cab]

Guys

Due to redundancy, I'm having to trim the fleet and my cabby has to go.

Its a 1994 216 SE (Honda D16 engine), MOT Till August 2012 and taxed until the end of January. Tahiti Blue with beige leather trim.
Bought it two years ago as a cat C write off (Minor rear bumper/back panel damage).
Since then, I have fitted replacement fully colour matched bumpers with coupe side strips. It has a mesh grille and MG/Rover 16" Hairpin alloys (In excellent condition with nearly new tyres all round.)
Electric hood is excellent in blue Mohair. (Needs new side frame parts which have rotted but I have these to go with the car-simple job.) Has recently had new rear calipers and pads.
It has a few dents and rust scabs but no major rot-still looks very nice. Drives superbly-no rattles or knocks or smoke. Fitted with an induction kit, so makes a gorgeous noise!!
Comes without stereo but has working electric aerial. Complete with tonneau cover and emergency hood cover.

I'm wanting £300 cash. No offers please as I can get this by selling the wheels and scrapping the rest, but this car is FAR Too good to scrap! I'm in Walsall, near Birmingham. Please PM me if interested.

That looks a beauty!

Surely worth more than £300!

If you can drop it off in stockport for fuel money its sold!

[John Cab]

Thanks for the comments guys. It probably is worth more, but:

1. I need the money
2. I need the space
3. I can't afford to retax it
4. It's the winter-who wants a cabby at full price?

It's a genuine car.

[1234dist]

I said i'll take it.

I'm 10 mins from the train station to get you back to brum.

[John Cab]

Not really wanting to drive that far TBH. Sorry.

[1234dist]

I am happy to pay what your asking but i work 6 days a week.

[John Cab]

[1234dist]

[John Cab]

Well, that's good, because you're not having it! Think before you speak.

[carl747]

Many parts I've sold are on this car

It's a great car worth alot more

Craig bit harsh tbh

[harkins77]

I'd be interested in this as I'm needing a car seeing as the gti is off the road.

I could get the train next Saturday if you wouldn't mind picking me up from Walsall station.

Arsehole - that's really all there is to say after a post like that.

[1234dist]

Behave yourselves guys

Jesus even i can see he was joking where's everyone's sense of humour gone??

[PJW]

I hate that so many cars are so far away, GLWS, bad luck youre not closer to the north east. I have money sat waiting for something like that.

[richard moss]

My sense of humour is fine - but that sort of thing is no laughing matter (I speak from personal experience).

[mike88]

Why, because he's unemployed? So am i and i didnt take offence to it.

He's only making himself loose out by turning down a sale when he needs the money over a joke.

[richard moss]

That's OK because I've sent a PM offering to buy it!

No excuse if its that much of a bargain. ( And it clearly is a bargain ) distance should not matter if you want something I have been all over the place to get cars some where

I live in Norwich

Went to southampton for my Ti

Went to kettering for my 220 GTi turbo

Went to Cornwall for my pulsar. ( That was a hike )


And had a recent prat not messed me around with a 2lL Hotrod I was about to head of to scotland for that and its an oval racecar so would of either been a trailer or transporter job

So as you can see if the price is right and its what you want distance makes no difference.

[stig1]

[ravinder]

Who's the new owner?

[richard moss]

Sadly not me - someone else got there first.

[ravinder]

I'm guessing it's Stig1?

[harkins77]

Must admit in not happy I didn't even get a reply to my pm's or messages. I could have done with it with the gti being off the road.

[John Cab]

Who's the new owner?

No one from here.

[stig1]

[PJW]

Soon as you miss a cheap car all the toys come out the pram

[1994 BRG Coupe]

Well hopefully the new owner will appreciate what they've got.

Good luck for the future John.
