Paul Re. the 'choke on' remark: If it's an F reg. the engine is EFI (Oct'85 on) They don't like not being used, especially the 'Joe Lucas' electrics, which could be the cause of the engine probs. Just sold mine for £300 with no MOT (rear seat belt mounts & front shocks) Rampant corrosion is the biggest problem, due to carp rust-proofing, but find a (rare) really nice one & you'll be glad you did. The 3.5efi is the least complex, with the strongest engine block of all the Rover V8's. Might be worth putting it through an MOT, just to see what needs doing?

Cynic-al Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 paid £475 for mine on an e plate last june. very solid and only mechanical problem was a broken viscous coupling on the fan. Interior pretty good, few loose switch panels & bits of trim, no MOT but i think it would pass depending on how picky the inspector was. Stuf like the rear wash wipe isn't worked. All i wanted was one that was solid to start with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed rear seat-belt mounts welding & a set of front dampers, plus a few 'advisory's' Currently in Belgium this weekend (in the snow) with 3 up & a boot full of gear!

BobtailBogey Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Sort of the same story of when i got mine. had been unused for well over 2 years though and when i went to look at it, it wouldn't start so i walked away but went back and offered him £175 and he was glad.. so i got a bit of a bargain there as it turned out to be a very genuine low mileage example.. and runs like a dream.. Best thing to do when you get it is give it a full service inc all filters etc and change all oils and if the mileage is genuine then you should have a very good solid runner.

terratology Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I paid £400 for my f plate SE, with 10 months mot, 100k and with lpg. However it didnt come with any wheels which wasnt a problem as had loads of them at the time! Oh and bobtailbogey i'm going to ask again whats the best price you'll do that mountaincycle for?
