|
|
This has just been posted on the Thanetclassics forums.
Just thought I'd bring it over.
I have asked for more details and contact number if anyone is interested.
Copy and pasted quote:
Have been approached by someone who has inherited a Rover P4 80. I know nothing about the car other than having seen it around and having spoken briefly to the now deceased former owner. You may have seen it around, reg was UJG 1 (not included). I understand it is in running order (or was until recently). It is offered for spares or restoration. No price given but I believe they are thinking around £2-300.
No use to me, but if anyone is interested let me know and I will pass on contact details.
Andy
Roger
PS I'll check if that 2 to 300 or 2,300

Good point
Funny how one can read, or not read, different meanings.
Thats the beauty of the English language.  |

2-3K for spares restoration, sounds alot to me for a p4 80 Maybe it is better than I imagine, but when I hear spares or restoration...
Maybe this is me being tight again, hehe I would be buying it for less though, only spend my pennies on what I call good deals though,  |

| £200-£300 sounds a bargain for a P4 - assuming it's not completely rotten. |

Keeping my ear to the ground locally as there is a 96 year old gentleman somewhere in the village, and the daughter won't say.
He has a pair of Triumphs that have not been driven further than out of the garage for about 7 years
One is an 1800 roadster and the other is a Gloria and he won't part with them.
Mind you I don't think they'll be as cheap a find as the Rover.
I'll see if I can get her to get some photos. |

Two days work.
Car almost looks new.
There are still some good finds about, right place right time applies.
Can't believe how good the car looks for £300.
Teach me to be so slow. |
