Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[Roger-hatchy]

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.

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.

I believe it's in Margate
2-300 they'll be queue's back to the Dartford tunnel

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,

Just got confirmation £200 to £300

Have asked if we could have photos, I'll post them if I get any.

Roger

PS the Person posting for a friend already has a 75

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

SOLD
On the Thanet site
In need of a bit of TLC and nowt else, so he says, and should be back on the road before Christmas.
Damn should have taken an overdraft.

Jammy devil
Looks like this was a real lucky find, so far.

Anyone know where he can find original tools for the tool tray?
Or do you have any for sale?

Roger you really missed out on that rover, its in lovely condition, how i wish I could come across such cars at so low prices!!

Does look like a good 'un doesn't it, I was assuming that for 2-300 quid it'd have been a bit of a shed/parts donor only!

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.
