Now for sale is my nightfire red Rover 420 GSI Turbo. It's a 93L first registered on the 1st of August 1993. Mileage is about 77K. The reason for selling the car is I've just landed another job which will be a 50 mile a day commute and the I can't afford the running costs . Taxed until end of May. Mot'd till 4th of March 06.

These cars are VERY rare in original form. I believe there were only 250 ever made.

The car is standard engine wise, apart from a dump valve and runs fine, apart from noisy tappets when cold but once warm quietens down. Its lowered 40mm which really helps the handling and has EBC front discs and pads which have done about 5000 miles on. Body wise the car is very good, with only a tiny bit of bubbling on the back arches. It's also fitted with a Clifford concept 300 Cat 1 alarm for which I also have the certificate for.

The car has some service history, with 11 stamps in the first service book and Serviced well by a previous owner. Last done at 74450. I have a few old MOT's and a couple of receipts for odds and ends.

£1250 OVNO to someone on here. Sell/swap/px possible.

Pretty sure its a 4 door saloon Pikie (but maybe 5 door hatch)

Don' think they made a 2 door 4 series, your thinking of the 2 series like in his sig.

It's the four door mate. Very stealthy, has the capability to be almost as quick as the coupe turbo that I had.
