[Rovernet] P6 2000 SC for sale on ebay

Tue Nov 3 06:15:49 EST 2020

Well, guys, I can easily believe that someone put $13,000 into that car, 
and I'm glad someone cared enough to do that. Sounds as if someone 
bought it at an estate sale, had never seen a Rover before, and thinks 
this is the last one in existence. After all, vintage Jaguars are 
British and command a big buck. There's so much information left out of 
this ad. Someone did a nice job on that interior, though, I must say.

Also, I'd love to have it if $13,000 meant that little to me. For the 
first time in my life I am about to move into a home with an oversize 
two-car garage with a twenty-foot workbench. Had to sell my Rovers when 
I downsized to a place with no garage and not even a driveway. I have 
three Volvos from the 90s that I do all my wrenching on in the parking 
lot behind my house and other people's driveways. I am moving to Ohio to 
be near my son and granddaughters, am realizing a substantial nontaxable 
capital gain (I'm 67), and just received an unexpected inheritance of 
$20k. That car is about 70 miles from where I am right now, but there is 
no way I am going to put more money into a car than I could ever get out 
of it. Besides, all the "fun stuff" looks like it has been done. I am 
used to 2000TCs that still blow mouse turds from the left dash vent 
three years after you'd done everything possible to clean them out.

I'm getting rusty on my 2000 facts. I forgot they ever came without the 
automatic. Single carb and a slush box means easy tuning, a stately pace 
and SMOOTH. I remember a gray one that belonged to a nice lady who came 
to our Rover meet at the Rhinebeck Aerodrome. Lovely car. 100% original.
