FOR SALE - Rover P5, Mark 1, 1959.

Price: R1000 not negotiable. License paid until June 2008. Click on picture links below.

Comments: Complete Rover P5 Mark I (for details on this type of car see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_P5). Purchased it from second-hand dealer in 2005, and drove it from Pretoria to Heidelberg.  It has been standing for a year, as the battery is flat, and the foot brake stopped working (possibly a leak in the cylinder?). Note that it needs to be repainted. Also note, that the carburrettor (SU HD8) was overhauled due to a petrol leak, but still seems to leak petrol. Unfortunately I don't have the time, space or mechanical apptitude required to restore this vehicle. PLEASE NOTE: 1.) Will require towing, 2.) Viewing on Saturdays/Sundays in Heidelberg, by appointment only.
