Front brakes cost that 2 years ago all brand new calipers and discs.

[pengy_666]

That's clear, the problem is... It's still a rover 25.

It's easy on paper worth 3 times that. It just won't get it. It's so sad

[BLACKSHADDOW]

I see this at pol last year it's mint and fast got to be worth £2500 easy

[escortpop]

Yes but like pengy said its still a rover 25,prob worth more in bits

[pengy_666]

Even if it was a ZR, I'd say it's the same.

It's the age and desirability of the mg/rover brand.

I'd try and get £2k for it, as you said it would need to be broken to archive good money OR take some of the shiny trick bits off and sell it for around £1500.

[BLACKSHADDOW]

Shame but prob is m8 I sold a standard one last year no where nears a nice as yours for 1250

[carl747]

Thinking of sellling ?

Seen this car took a lot of pics for you as matt asked

[escortpop]

Yes its gotta go,Way to many cars around me at minute.

[BLACKSHADDOW]

Black one for sale yet?

[escortpop]

Na thats my track tool mate

[BLACKSHADDOW]

No worries

[escortpop]

Just fitted new seats to my black one.

[m4cwo]

Pengy you've Obvisiley not read the spec its a clean example with some nice parts on it and really well looked after I'd say £2500 as well good luck with the sale if I never had the gsi I'd have this

[VVC MINI]

can vouch for this car. is very nice and should be worth lots. is a shame they have no value when all the bits are on a full car.

[james3990]

I think you would get around £1500 - £2000 without too much problem.

Its a MK2 (better looking than the MK1 ), its a very nice colour, and nicely modified!

[escortpop]

Forgot to add its got a new crank and 4 paddle clutch as well.

are you in dream land ??

[pengy_666]

Nope, it's a rover 25.

Whilst done very well, they just don't fetch money. I've seen them go for stupid money in the last few months. I'm not comparing this to the examples but it does however effect the prices of well carried out conversions.

I reckon take some fancy parts off and put it to near as a stock conversion as possible and sell for about £1750 to hopefully see good money.

[ghall2004]

fully loaded 1000 1300, take "fancy" items off and return to standard and its now £1750

just me or is the nuts????

wait for the right buyer. finished article. imagine the cost of doing this yourself... ££££'s

pros and cons of selling in the "enthusiast" environment

more exposure to an extent but then also being subjected to the eternal chestnut quote "worth more in bits" " its just a rover"

get it on piston heads, gumtree, ebay , all the forums more the better.

If this car doesn't fetch bare min of £2k then shouldn't we all just give up and run about in completely standard cars?

Good luck what ever happens. This car is the real deal.

+1 agree with ghall

[pengy_666]

It is sad but, sadly true.

[Cableguy]

It is sad but, sadly true.

Sorry dude your way off on this one.

Easy 2.5k as is, 3.5/4k broken.

My VI "sold" for £2750 and that's a T reg 200 with similar spec.

[pengy_666]

Tbh, I haven't seen a zr/25/200 conversion fetch money for that for a while.

That is what I based my price on. Again I can't stress enough I'm not in anyway saying its not a good conversion

[Cableguy]

I have never seen a mk2 conversion go for less than 2k.

Tell a lie, I did see one rusty heap o shite go for a grand, but it was REALLY ropey

[Chaz]

That colour is awesome.. What is that..?

Id say more around 2k tbh..

About 4k in bits though..

[james3990]

In a nut shell ghall2004

This should fetch good money. I know a member on here with a very nice MK1 ZR T16 (not forged!) which he paid close to £5,000 for it.

Seriously Pengy, there are people out there who will pay the price!

I bought my Mk2 Turbo for a grand, albeit, nowhere near the standard of this one and not the most amazing example when I got it.

If I was in the market for one id say this was worth no less than 2.5k but we all know they don't sell well, hold out for the right person though and it will sell.

[R25tubz]

1000-1300 i would give you 1500, but all joking aside its got to be worth 2k all day long if not more

[pengy_666]

I am a twit, I assumed it was a MK2 converted front end too.

:~(
