Heap of scrap

<< < (3/3)

muddyweb:
I'm with Leadboots on this one I'm afraid.

You can get a decent 3.5 for half that money.  For one that's been stood around with an unknown history... 150 quid would be closer to the right price IMHO.

Andy the Landy:
just found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4508202042 .Why would it be painted red? Is it a form of colour coding like light green is recon. etc. or is the red of no significance

V8MoneyPit:
The challenge with all used engines is knowing the condition. As I said, it's an OK price if it's good. But if it is unknown, it is worth little more than scrap value. That is the only price worth paying if you can't prove it's condition. Can you get the guy to plumb it in and see it running?

The last of the P6 units were the best ever Rover V8 produced in my view. The only problem was the high CR. It was designed for 5 star fuel. In order to fun it on 95 RON, I had to run mine timed to TDC. Any more advanced and it would pink like crazy. I felt this carb equipped version had better throttle response than the SD1 Vitesse that followed with injection.
