Hi all.
Just to let you know that Connor my 1970 Corsica blue early S2 2000sc auto is now up for sale.
UPDATE!!!
Connor is now for sale with or without plate,he must go as space is limited!!
I want to get the TR6 back home,so I will put Connor in the lock up till he sells.
I am open to any and all offers!!

Hopefully,xxx fingers a new toy is on the cards in the next month or so.
Will let you all know what it is when it is finally on my drive."No hints to anyone" :wink:

I am currently advertising the reg number which has been valued at £2500.
If you are interested in buying the car with the private plate then the bargain steal price for the pair is;
£2495 ovno
and then you can sell the plate.
The car by itself with the plate removed will be
£1795
It was being used as my daily driver,but I am happy for it to be sold before the V8 is done as I will use the new toy or walk to work.
I have done almost 2500 trouble free miles in him since Oct last year,and after his 17yr hidden away slumber is getting better and better as he loosens up.

Hi,
I'm not interested in buying Connor, because I have hit my car limit, and I don't have sufficient funds either. But what I am interested in is that in the pictures, the sticker in the rear window that says to use 100 octane fuel - isn't that the sticker for a 2000TC? Or does Connor have a 10:1 compression ratio engine, instead of the usual 9:1? The reason why I ask is because my current 2000 auto has a normal 9:1 engine, that has the sticker saying to use 96 octane fuel. Yet my green car, had UK market engine (I checked the numbers) but was the lower 7.5:1 compression ratio (how odd) , and IIRC the sticker said to run 93? octane fuel - she ran very happily on 95 anyway.

To make life even more confusing, I have just found out that the engine code for my current 2000 auto is not on Rudiger's site. I'm a little wary about asking this myself, but would you mind PMing me Connor's engine and VIN numbers for comparison Please?

Cheers, Adam.
 
Hi Adam.
I will pm you the eng/vin info tomorrow as they are files somewhere! :roll:
As for the octane label,it could be that the rear window has been replaced,maybe a better authority on all things rover can shed some light on it.

AND!!
My new toy is now in the garage,, :D Will tell all on another section later.
 
Connor is now all polished and prepped for sale.
I will be taking him to the Malvern event this coming Easter Sunday,and bunging up a for sale sign in him.
Sadly he has to go as ive got 4 cars now and really only got the space for a comfortable 3,and I dont want to sell the P6V8 or the TR6.
After Malvern,if not sold, I will be putting him on all the free sites I can and also on Ebay and see what happens.
I am open to sensible offers,but dont be silly! :roll:
 
Connor is going to be given a good clean and polish tomorrow,then put in my lock up and covered up till sold.
I can then bring Sid the TR6 home and have some open top fun.
All the spares that I have for a 2000 will be put in the boot ready to go.
The car by itself with the plate removed and a "J" reg issued,will be,,
£1795ovno
 
Connor is now as good as SOLD!! "Inclusive of the reg number"
I have received a paypal deposit.
Its not gone till its gone,ie; The folding stuff in my hand and its driving up the road!!
Hopefully he will be away to a new owner up in Manchester by the weekend.
He is spending his last few days with me tucked up undercover.
