Good morning guys, does anyone know of the history of this car at all please? Thanks. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112784379316

Any idea of the reg? I‘d just be wary of no rear badges or side stickers coupled with the fact it‘s in Birmingham mate.
I‘d never buy a car from Birmingham (personally) x

Couldn't even open the bonnet, it had clearly been binned when seeing it in person, like Emmsy I wouldn't ever consider going to Birmingham to buy a car now.
But I can't say it looked anything like that, it looked pretty much stock back then.

Cheers guys appreciate the feedback.Cam said:Looking at the seller's other items - "nabeeshahza-3" :-k .......... they've got a few cars for sale... obviously this DC5 has also been bought on the cheap to sell and make a quick quid.
Bodywork looks shabby and poorly fitted in general. Also zero feedback on the account? Dodgy.
Stick with cars from this site - at least you know they've almost certainly been looked after by another enthusiast.

What's so funny chuckles? I can't afford an FK8 plus they sound crap and look like they have three bits of drain pipe as an exhaust. No doubt they are a great car to drive but we aren't all money bags like you Dotty ha ha!dotty said:
Cheers dude, I'm not a massive fan of them tbh but I've never driven one in all fairness. In saying that there was a cracker on ebay a few weeks back, very heavily modified and was a real weapon but beyond what I can afford sadly.Patch_teg said:Crazyleg, a great and honest member on here
Good luck whatever happens.
Have you considered a cheaper option and save any extra funds you have towards a property, such as an ep3?
Nice one mate, your for sale thread has gone. Is the build thread still on here?Dazaturbo said:Yes mate mine is still the same spec as in the thread just been driving it and enjoying the car really
I second this, don't forget running costs and if anything goes wrong. Sounds like you'll be really stretching yourself for another DC5.Patch_teg said:Crazyleg, a great and honest member on here

Yeah I took it off sale for a while I was going to try and keep it but my commute is going to be taking a pretty big jump soon so it has to go in place of some pos diesel 🙄Crazylegs said:Nice one mate, your for sale thread has gone. Is the build thread still on here?
Is yours the DC5 with the Mugen diff? Got to be worth it for the box alone!Dazaturbo said:Yeah I took it off sale for a while I was going to try and keep it but my commute is going to be taking a pretty big jump soon so it has to go in place of some pos diesel
Here‘s the build and if you search through gok‘s posts the build from when it was imported is on there somewhere
