    Default Rover 75 V8 On Ebay

    Somewhat optimistic price, I think?

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ame=STRK:MEWAX:

    I belive that this is the flood damged car which was for sale on Copart a while back and sold for around £3500. Cat D, I recall, but not mentioned in current seller's description.

    There's a fair bit of discussion (and pictures of its previous state) here:

    and the talk was of it being a Cat C.

    He has mentioned the flood damage and it's good to see a 6 year old car being offered for nearly £10k. May actually help to inflate all our valuations.

    "Water damaged engine" could mean ECU and all other electronics in trouble.

    How did the water damage the engine?

    Water and Electronics do not mix.

    Not at a sensible price, the Premium bumper is very rare.

    I would possibly exchange it for a ZT bumper and £200

    I was keeping it as a spare in case a trailer attacked my car??
