The Rover Coupe Owners Club Forum

It’s no good, I’m going to sell the 620.

I bought it earlier this year, as I’ve always fancied a car with the T Series Turbo lump. It’s a great engine without the usual oil leak in the corner and pulls really well.

Unfortunately, apart from the hard suspension, I can’t get on with the Recaro seats. Perhaps it’s yet another sign that I’m getting on a bit, especially as I hurt my back two weeks ago! As always, the 75 has reminded me of just how comfortable the 75 is!

It has been suggested that I advertise it for £3750 online when I have time to get around to it, but I’m open to offers from club members.

I need to start polishing it ready for the Pershore Show at the end of the month, so I will post some photos when I’ve finished.

I do have some screenshots from the adverts, so I’ll try and remember how to post those first.

I’ve decided to advertise it at £3,495 but will be happy to consider offers.

The decision to sell is clearly the right one, as I’ve hurt my back again, for the third time since May. The only car that is really comfortable is the 75!

In the meantime, here’s a photo I took earlier.

Hi,

Sorry to read about back, I have a back problem as well but can still drive my 600ti. I found a book called Treat Your Own Back by Robin McKenzie very good.

How many miles has your 600ti done?

Best wishes, Geoffrey.

Hi Geoffrey,

Thanks for that. Things have moved on a bit since my last post. Perhaps, most importantly, my back has been ok so far, as I’ve been VERY careful about what I do!

Somewhat embarrassingly, I belatedly realised that you can adjust the lumbar support. I expected it to be on the right hand side of the seat as with my Tomcat! It’s still not brilliant, but it is better.

Also, it unexpectedly failed it’s MOT, so I was faced with the choice of selling it as soon as the failure items were sorted (at a possible loss) or spending a little more to make a little bit more. I decided on the latter course of action, as the shocks and tyres are in dire need of replacing, so hopefully () the ride quality will improve enough to tempt me into keeping it for a while. We shall see!

Finally, it’s done about 76,500 miles.

Hi,

I hope your back continues to improve.

As I am in Stratford-upon-Avon we should put our Rovers together sometime. If you do decide to sell then please let me know.

Best wishes, Geoffrey.

That’s a possibility as I’m in Pershore!

It would certainly be interesting to see how the ride quality compares with the ‘Bouncy Castle’ at the moment.

Oh, and I’ve sent you a PM.

Did this car ever sell?

Nick still has it - he might be along soon to comment - ill highlight this thread to him

No, for reasons I can't remember at the moment (!), I decided against selling it.

The plan at the moment is to get a new MOT in the Spring, experience it for a while and then advertise it. I really do have too many cars to cope with in my present condition, so some have to go. It's not easy to let go of any, but at least the funds raised will go towards restoring others, particularly my BRG 416 Tourer, which I probably love more!

Several people have expressed an interest in it recently, so the above 'plan' could change with the right offer!

Thanks for replying. I will keep an eye out for an advert for the car. The R600Ti has come onto my radar after owning pretty much every other sort of modern Rover (Coupe included) and I feel the need to scratch the itch now. Like you, I've too many cars and need to clear space first!
