Bikers' Banter

Sold my Rover 25

180,000 kms
One lady owner from new
No dents!

When I say ‘sold’, pretty much gave it away. Just covered the cost of it’s MOT, and the buyer is paying the transfer fee.

Quite sad really. I paid £3,500 for it, so it didn’t owe me anything.

Chris’s face was a picture when we caught up last year ; you’ve still got that!!

So you are not into classic cars then...................or vintage.
Never experienced selling a car i have own for years and years as i have never owned one for that long.
I'm sure it's got a few ITVs left in it.

Wife had Peugeot 306 a few years ago which had 265,000 miles on the clock and to be honest we never looked after it properly with me doing the basic servicing . Even with 'er indoors driving it every day there were no dents or scratches on it , started every time and pretty much indestructible . When we eventually thought it was time to get rid , WeBuyAnyCar offered us £0 (nothing) for it , it went to the scrap yard and got £80 . Few months later I saw it in the local town with some young kid driving it . I really wanted to go and ask how much he paid for it and how it was running .

I know my cars. Your, your good lady's that went to the scrapper would be worth £2,800 min.



Only Kidding. Are you sure it was a Peugeot????? and are you sure the . was in the right place on the mileage. A frog car doing 265.000 ks, neigh miles. You must be a bloody good service man.

As I said Bob , this car was indestructible and we only kept it to see how long it would last after it had done a quarter of a million miles . Oil change and the very basics were done , never going to pay garage money on it .
Strange how I also remember the reg number on that one (V61 ETH) even though I don't know any of our current vehicles .

It's an Age thing Gareth ...... I can only remember my early Cars and Bikes and nothing from the past few Decades, apart from the MH as It has PUK in it init...... What Pisses me off ( one of many many things ! ) is those bloody car parking meters that ask for your Reg..........

Many years ago i bought a Capri 2 ltr S Only bought cause the reg number was 69 ???

Know what you mean re these council car parks. Try putting in 22 BN or 44 BN they just wont have it.

Oops........ ! .... I was premature there ! .......... BN44 Is what I have on my ZZR when riding around the Bolton area......... just sayin.....

Thats ok Nev as we live 30 miles away now in Hartford
