Sutty2006 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Interesting vehicle. Terrible description, dealer selling it on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo3000 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) This has been on before,..i like it,quite nicely executed with the SR V8 decals,...however for the money i would expect more attention to detail on that interior.👍 Edited February 4 by evo3000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a private seller, he bought it from Mike Hill Motorsport who deals in all kinds of classics on Fleabay, that is where I'd seen it before. Since then it has had the carbs tuned and added a full stainless exhaust system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Definitely needs a better description. I do love a V8. It needs a small spoiler to finish it off and lowering slightly then it’ll look perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does seem to sit a little high, not convinced the paint is going to be as good close up, door shut area looks like the switch etc were not masked up but I'm being picky.

Nothing wrong with being picky when 10k is on the table. Let’s face it, what’s its value if it had a 1.9 or 2.0 in it? Rover V8 is an ok engine but not my first choice. What ever happened to that black n grey tubbed shell that was struggling to sell? Did it find a new owner? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it find a new owner? Maybe 6k tops as with the interior the way it is? It vanished off Fleabay a while ago, he should have left the engine in it probably, I did stick an offer in when the engine was in there in a moment of madness, he probably ended up taking less than I offered in the end, my plan was to paint it all a deep gloss black and sort the interior, I hope it does show up again though, shame if it is sat stuck in his garage still.

Very much so. When a car is modified you change its potential selling audience. You’d have to buy that shell and fit a knarley v8 in it (or a Cummins if you were me 🤣) just for fun. I too would love to see it again getting some TLC. But no way you’d be able to put it back to standard after all that was cut out of it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostSoul Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Thank you, Jess. I now know what a Mancona is (sorry for ignorance 😊!) and they're a bit new/modern for me I'm affraid. I was thinking V8 A Series... All the best LS🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealExile Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 6995 .... tempting for someone? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 16 hours ago, TheRealExile said: 6995 .... tempting for someone? Quite a reduction. I think it could do a bit better with a couple if minor tweaks. If it was put back to a closer OEM look and keep the V8 perhaps. Looks like it’s jacked up as it is, wonder if it’s exhausted under the front subframe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think it went for about six and a half when Mike sold it... but he's since added the exhaust and had the carbs setup. Be much better if he could get it sat lower like you say, got to be something afoot but would need to see it in the flesh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
