NGG502F

ebay

This car has been much loved and has documentation to prove it. Engine and gearbox reconditions. Extensive repairs to the body and much much more.
It had a couple of minor accidents to the front near-side and when the owner prior to me put it into a major Rover restorers to have a minor welding job it was discovered that the previous repairs had used rather too much fibreglass  and not enough metal (in fact the hull had been twisted and was two inches high and two inches short on the near-side front. )
The car was completely rebuilt using a later sound hull and is now rust free. (minor welds to front floor corners only)
It also has fibreglass valences, outer sills, and front and rear wings.
It passed its last MOT last September the tester commented on how good the hull was.
It is a good sturdy car that does everything one asks of it.
It has a towbar, four new Goodyear tyres, stainless exhaust new radiator and waterpump and all sorts of other items (like water hoses which it acquired during the rebuild or even more recently
Don't expect 'concours' but it looks right. With just a little paintwork it could be really fine.
I am selling following a major house fire which has left the car marooned in the front garden since last September. I now need cash to refurnish the house!
Please come and look if you want. Loads of contemporary manuals included.
