Description

I've owned this car for over a decade, with the hope that it made it through to long-term preservation simply due to its (now unique) colour and trim combination. The anoraks will notice its one of the 'never launched' Mk2 cars which did offer some improvements over the earlier CityRover.

The good:

Solid example with no rust
New clutch and gearbox oil (2020/ 3k miles ago)
New timing belt and water pump (2020/ 3k miles ago)
Receipts back to 2014.
Full DVLA V888 print-out so history can be documented right back to first registration.
Has the very rare 'learn fob' for the immobiliser ECU.

The rest:

The 'leather' seats in the front have split on the base. I've never got round to having them repaired. The paintwork is mostly good, but faded slightly on the roof with some more prominent marks. Small dents and marks around the car. Air conditioning did work prior to last period off the road - so might be revived with a regas. Glovebox lid hinge broken. O/ S/ R electric window does not work. Recent replacement instrument cluster so now shows incorrect mileage (documented in history folder). Grumbly N/ S/ F strut top at low speed manoeuvring. Opening the bonnet is a two-person job as the release cable is stretched. Car should have side skirts fitted, but these were damaged.

I'm doubtful anyone else has been as daft as me to spend so much one one of these over the years - so you'll not find another this good. There's also less than 100 of these taxed now!

Car has MoT until March 2025. The CityRover is now almost extinct. This is a chance to preserve one in a unique colour and trim combination. Lots of time and money spent on this car over its ten years in my ownership.
