Range Rover V8 Off Roader! READY FOR FUN! NO RESERVE! on eBay (end time 22-Mar-10 21:38:17 GMT)

hence the 'Off Roader'?

does look like he nicked them off a tractor though...

i just asked him if he says it will "fly through the mot" why the bump stop from the chassis is missing, then asked him how many other things would i have to do to it before it indeed "flys through the MOT "

what a Joker, looks like whoever buys this will want a few quid just to get it through the mot

I dont understand people like that...say it will fly through an MOT with no problem etc etc. Well for the sake of £30 jsut put it through then - a vehicle with an MOT is going to fetch a far higher price.

he emailed me back, and said that he uses it mainly at offroad events and gets it transported to and fro them, he says it will need a few things done, but still insists it will fly through an MOT???


i'll be watching to see what it goes for anyway

it puts people off, it's almost admitting that it won't pass without some expensive work involved

in fairness, its an offroader. with tyres like that its not going to be flying through an mot, let alone flying anywhere on the road. its an offroader, but for the purpose of offroading, it looks bloody useful

and i like it!

as the purpose of an exclusive offroader, it sounds great, but why put the bit about flying through an MOT on the Q & A part of the listing, maybe he thought some newbie chav, with an "i'll drive over anything" attitude with cash on the hip will buy it...

yup dont get that bit. it looks like an exclusive off roader to me, but as that it looks like the dogs danglies

I agree, it does look useful, not that i know anything about offroading though
