Everything ok apart from the usual bad things. Rear wheel arches are prone to rust. Ive been in the process of fixing. Just needs a proper sanding down and repainting.
The car could do with a respray as paintwork is shoddy. Will do ok for everyday but don't go to a meet.Rover 200s infamous boot and sunroof leak. Everytime I seal a leak another appears at the badly seated weld points etc. I just don't have the place, room or time to even get the silicon out now.Runs fine. Rear wiring loom that runs through boot hinge could do with sorting out, resoldering and heatshrinking (or crimping have those already with heatshrink) the wires in. Really bad rain let water in and rear demister and wiper are inoperable until wiring reconnected.

Open to offers, had on ebay for 595 hoping for calls which I did get, mainly to say I was nuts, they never read was wanting offers. Considering the work thats been done already I'd love what I paid for it which was £425.

Cars at the 'banger' of of the market do better in the local classifieds rather than on a national forum in my experience. With its long list of new parts it has potential to sell at £500 with a full MOT (might be worth considering for £30?), but the ropey paintwork may put people off as may the boy racer lights and spoiler (back to standard would be better).
