How could I say no to this great looking arden green gem!!!
A 1968 S1 Rover V8P6B Three Thousand Five,and a 2 owner.
Chassis no; 42501465A
Engine no; 42501497A
Base unit no; BA4 7 001486.
Its definately 001486 the 4 & 7 stamp after the BA is a little less clear!
1st reg'd 1/8/68.
Built June/July 68.
1st owner from 1968-74 did 20k miles!
Last from 1974 till 2014 did 23k miles and it was dry stored from 1977-end 1994 and mid 1995-2014.
NEW INFO UPDATE!!
The previous owner has just confirmed that he parked it up in early 1977,and then got it out in Jan 1995,MOT'd it and taxed it for 6 months,not being used again once tax ran out in June 1995!
This is consistent with the MOT from 1976 with 38k miles and all previous MOT's showing circa 4k miles a year!
MOT history!
1st Aug 1971 = 10775m
2nd Aug 1972 = 14136m
3rd July 1973 = 20592m
4th Sept 1974 = 25971m
5th Sept 1975 = 31875m
6th Sept 1976 = 38104m
Garaged early 1977 till 1995,for 18yrs!
7th Jan 1995,but MOT not found,taxed for 6 months.
Garaged early 1995 till Feb 2014,for 19yrs.
8th Mar 2014 = 42977m
Just 43k miles genuine,never ever been welded!!
A super solid base unit,a near mint interior,really sweet and strong engine and box!
Dry stored since 1995.
Recommissioned and new MOT.
Initial inspection done by Stina,"Cheers mate "
I went to see it today,did a full poke about checkover,in,out,up and under!
Test driven,the price negotiated and the deal done!
Collection next week,hopefully along with a nice cache of spares,from the previous owner!
Just haggling a price for all of the NOS spares!!
Only obvious faults,it needs 4 wings and a total repaint,as most other panels have very minor scabs/scars,but no dents!!
And part of the cache of spares includes 4 NOS wings!
More next week once its home and I can have a play!
