Default What a shame if it has to go to the scrappers!

***** Car has been sold and will be saved! ******

V8 lovers attention please!
My Rover V8 is for sale (see member cars for sale #643) and so far I have only had one reaction, which did not go through. I know the car has a little gremlin and it is in the South of France, but apart from that it is a very good car in a lovely condition and it would be a shame if I have to hand it in to be demolished!
So please have a look at the add and make me an offer, any offer, because I would hate to see it go to waist. There must be someone that wants to continue to cherish this wonderful car.

This'll be interesting. If there were ever any serious intention to scrap it that should defer it

Astounded there's been little interest. 75 V8s don't come up that often.

The chinese bumper doesn't do it any favours imo. Still a cracking car though.

But where has it been advertised? I've never seen it mentioned since Eric's 'Driver Impressions' in Dutch magazines back in 2014.
I check all the regular sites over the whole of Europe daily (for the Two-Sixties Forum list), including even www.leboncoin.fr and www.automobile.fr for ZT 260s and R75V8s . Never seen it.
