Since my brother recently turned 17, I remembered a promise I made many, many years ago.

I'll buy you your 1st car.

Crap.

Its amazing how easily you can lose track of time.

Anyway, here are a few piccies of the project.

Rover 200 1.1 5dr.
Kingfisher blue.
74k
Tax end Oct.
MOT late April 2010.
New exhaust.
Engine rebuild last year. (typical k series)!
The paint is flat, the interior is boggin, and there are one or two little glitches to contend with.
Nothing major.
I am amazed as to how well it drives.
There are a number of small dents, pretty much every panel has a mark.
Again, its the usual car park related dings and dents.
The worst part of rust is the n/s/r arch, but I should be able to clean it up without too much grief.

£100

I'm quite happy with it tbh, a cheap wee car with a promising future.
If my brother does'nt like it, ebay it is.

So, anyway, have a butchers.

P.S. I had already done a coolant change before I took the pics.

Not bad mate
If your brother doesnt like it then tough you said you would get him his first car, you didnt say what though, or did you?
still the car looks decent,

You're a good brother big lad, I'm sure the gesture will be appreciated

just to give you an idea, a same age similiar condition Rover (only difference left side steering) will cost here between 3500-4000 £ roughly..

Wow cem that is amazing, is there any reason for cars to be so expensive in your country ? I mean is it just money exchange rates or something else

I just hope my son remembers his promise to me he is only 9 but when he grows up he is going to build me a house and buy me an Aston Martin DB9

He's a good lad, looking forward to retirement now!!
