1986 Rover SD1 2600VDP Auto......read on! SOLD

Honest ad.... I bought this as a (quick) fix up car but there's too much to do for me before I lose my rented garage (now on notice!)

I paid £500 for car as non runner and have got it running with new battery and new fuel pipe into carbs. The new and used bits that come with it have cost £675+ I have seen cars in this condition sell for £600+ that need most of the extra bits that come with this car.

Car had been standing for 5 years but structurally not too bad - it jacks up OK on all 4 corners!
Main issues:
ENGINE, runs fine but will need oil change and I'd strongly advise timing belt (new one included) and cooling hoses being replaced before it is used regularly.
Very poor headlining, and interior (apart from seats which are OK - small split in drivers- but a bit faded) is a bit tatty. I have replacement speaker panels x4 which are hard to come by.
Bodywork, no major rust on panels or underneath (even boot floor solid), scuttle OK only rust is in centre but easy kill and repair. Rust on Sunroof panel and NSF door and bonnet - none is past saving. Lacquer peeling all over roof, rest of paintwork very tired! Small hole in OSF wing at bottom behind wheel arch (not on cill or structural) but easy patch.
All 4 tyres old but good tread - possibly not MOT standard due to age but 3 hold air ok for moving around (4th goes down after a few days). Spare tyre split and US, this was on car so have swapped - but Vitesse wheels included have good tyres;
Brakes not seized car rolls and stops. Started fitting Rimmers new front brake calipers pads and discs - one side done- but car will drive onto a trailer etc. (brakes need bleeding);
Tailgate struts need replacing (included)
Almost all electrics now working (windows Lazy but loosening up) - washers and wipers work on delay and slow (spare motor and switch included), central locking works but the sender keeps clicking after locking - probably cheap fix. No warning lights showing on Dash (Brake warning was low fluid). Electric sunroof works!!

Its had S1 bumpers and lights put on - headlamp wash pipes left as is so fires water out under bumper when lights/ washers on!!!!!!! - S2 bumpers and lights included - so you can sell S1 bits and get some £ back;

Good points:
Low miles at 54K with some history;
Engine compartment looks OK!!
Standard period Radio Cassette;
OK Seats, good carpets/ mats.
Body solid as stated.
Only 8 left taxed or SORN.
Could be put in for MOT soon (after brakes and wipers sorted), that should assess any failure issues - I reckon possibly a little welding.

I have V5 in my name.
SBO - No MOT or Tax. SORN You will need a trailer to take it home!
D109 OVP

Additional bits and bobs included (car is full!):
NEW 6 Bosch Plugs, air and oil filters;
NEW Rimmers Front Discs/ Calipers and pads - (offside fitted already);
NEW 4 brake flexi pipes;
NEW rear brake cylinders x 2 plus left to right brake pipe;
Vitesse/ EFI wheels and legal Toyo tyres;
S2 F and R Bumpers and headlights and one overrider
NEW tailgate struts
Spare wiper motors and linkages - need un seizing!
Spare front Indicators;
plus a few other bits I may have forgotten - eg old S1 steel wheels and tyres, rusty but again OK for moving car about;
dual electrics tow bar kit.

I will take offers with or without the unfitted bits that fill up the boot with seats down!!

Might swap for MOTd MGF.
