ROVER METRO ROCKER COVER SPECIALLY MODIFIED BY SOME BLOKE IN A SHED WITH A TIG WELDER :lol:

I wonder. The seller has (or has had in the recent past) a lot of genuine Special Tuning stuff. So who knows?

Tacho does not work. Either that or the oil pressure gauge is stuck. :D
Heritage bootlid?
As well as quite a few incorrect underbonnet details. Lovely car though, and with a beautiful paint finish.

Reading between the lines:

A scrap Mark 1 850 shell worth about 300 quid.

A £40 Heritage Certificate (gold embossed yo) from a VIN plucked from thin air.

A 997 engine.

And the usual Jilly Cooper description for added LoL's.

The current £1021 bid is probably about right.

Why can't people take the time to understand what they're selling?!

Having just sold one - that's a good starting price.

That's not a Mini Speedo. Probably Morris Marina TC. Check the part number and the TPM.

And the 'part number' quoted isn't the part number.#The GT speedo was (I think) 13H**** or ADU**** and were SNT3328/***

13H5898 SNT3328/02; 1275 GT, 1969-70.
13H9350 SNT3328/16 or 16AS; 1275 GT, 1970-74.
13H9418 SNT3328/18S; 1275 GT, 1974-75.
ADU2277 SNT3328/18SA; 1275 GT, 1975-80.


In the picture it does look like 3328/02, which is an early GT

It does look more like an 8 than the 9 he put in the text. Unless the label on the box says different.

Anyone know anything about this one ? A mate of mine might be interested if it is a genuine S.

To state the bleedin obvious, there's no servo and the chassis number is in the wrong place. Sure others will be able to spot more than me.

I spotted that but neither makes it not what it purports to be.

Things like that can be corrected.

Top tip - I've got a Maxi gearknob in my car, it's a much cheaper way to con everyone into thinking you've got a 5 speed box :D
