Rover
25
1.8i
GTi VVC

Rare model, was only out for a short time and the following year the MG ZR took over from this model
Looks very simmilar to the ZR except 2 insurance groups lower
Wolf in sheeps clothing
2 Previous owners
Original Car in superb condition, excellent history
Do NOT confuse this with a normal Rover 25, this handles, it goes, comfortable, responsive, a normal Rover 25 doesn't do any of them!!
The suspension is a lot better and it does feel a lot more pointy, basically in the feel there is no difference to the handling to a MG ZR

60k Alternator
64k Catalytic Convertor
Other than that just servicing


Other Stuff including anything bad

An absolute hoot to drive, no GTi badges on the car so everyone ( that doesn't know the difference ) thinks it's just a normal R25, until you accelerate
Very economical ( 37 Mpg average ) which is very important now-a-days
Runs very well
Starts very well
Interior is in good condition
Engine sounds sweet
Gearbox is very nice
Air Conditioning is all working ( thank heavens, it's warm out there )
Non of the typical Rover problems
Radio display is perfect
It is quite rare that you can get one of these models, let alone one that is as standard as this one
DO NOT confuse this with a normal Rover 25, they are not even simmilar, if you look carefully the exterior is totally different and you can see where the MG ZR came from, this I would say is closer to a ZR than a 25

TYPICAL QUESTIONS

We are based in Lincolnshire 8 Miles north of SLEAFORD

Can we deliver?

Of course we can, but we do charge for this, current charge is £1.25 per mile one way, this is due to the ever increasing cost of fuel !!

The car has no tax, can you re tax it for us?

This we can arrange at cost of the cost ( if unsure ask us ), plus a admin fee of £10 for vehicles on a std V5 or £20 for vehicles that have to be taxed at DVLA ( old style V5/ plate transfer / Disabled ) we will put in the description if it is the latter

How Can we pay?

Cash on collection / delivery, Bankers draft

What about our old car ?

We may consider buying it from you, let us know what it is and we will tell you if we are intrested, more details the better

Can we come and have a look ?

Of course you can, by appointment only

I've won a car from you but can't pick it up until late as I work ?

For this we can make special arrangments for you

I've won a car but don't get paid until next week?

Same again as long as we know it's not a problem, any longer than 7 days and then we must have a minimum of a 10% deposit to hold the vehicle

How can we contact you?

By email ( ask seller a question )
