Fuel type Petrol

Price £2,500 ONO

Here we have this beautiful low mileage Rover coupe 1.8 VVC. This vehicle was purchased in July 2018, it has been garaged and not driven since that time. It has been SORN since June 2019.
It has two keys,
Spec includes Targa Top, Radio, Remote central locking, Leather seats, Hight adjustable driver seat, folding rear seat, electric door mirrors, CD player, immobiliser, electric windows, Alloy wheels, Air bags,
3 x 3 point rear seat belts,
Three previous owners
All service records and receipts for works carried out.
On initial inspection, a new engine battery was required and fitted. The car subsequently started first time and seems to run well. As is to be expected the brakes are binding but is movable with care.

Some background information:
My brother purchased this car in 2018 sadly since then he has developed dementia and I now find myself in the position of having to clear his belongings (including this car) Therefore, to the best of my knowledge the details above are correct.
Please see photos of the car, as you can see it is in nice condition.
I do hope I can find a buyer who will restore and love this car as I know my Brother had intended.
Many thanks for looking.

Hi Barbara,

So sorry to hear about your brother. Am interested in the car but can’t see any contact details. Would you mind DMing me if it’s still for sale?

Thanks
