Default Opinion on this on Ebay (2)

Just spotted this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-ROVE...EAAOSwWU1f-qJI

Is it a club member's?

As it left the showroom? Isn't that a Chinese front bumper (look at the size of the gaps around the headlights!)

.... and a badly fitted double din, as well as a real wood dash ....... (were late connies not fabric as standard, with leather an option? )

He has had loads on sale normally for rich prices too.

To be fair though, those additions, (hideous as they are - to me, bar the dash) do suggest an enthusiast previous owner, and if the mileage is genuine, I would suggest a price around £1500-£2500 in the current market. With such low mileage I would be concerned of the clutch cylinders and their lack of movement. Because of the colour, for me personally it would be scrap value lol (green is an unlucky colour for cars in my family).

Seven years off the road - ouch!

12 years since it was last serviced according to the dealer's blurb.

240 miles since it was last MoT'd in June 2019, but no advisories even at the 2019 test.

As soon as I saw the item location being in Huddersfield, I clicked off the page I’m sure we all know about this guy if not just drop somebody like Brian a message.
Oh and from the quick glimpse I took its got a rubbish Chinese front bumper that certainly didn’t leave the factory like that😮

Wonder if it was closed because of the discrepancy in the mileage. It had done less miles in the last reading than in 4 years earlier.
