Scrapping a rare Rover

[UK345]

Got a Rover 200 BRM and it is showing it's age. It's been used and abused. I tried to sell it but got time wasters and some tt wanting to buy it for scrap. I had someone claiming he was an enthusiast contacting me and he has gone quiet. Any other options options to me ? Seems a shame to scrap it but hey hoo if it means less hassle then I'm happy too.

Dont these come with LSD equipped low ratio gearboxes, surely a ZR owner would fancy an upgrade?>!!

Burn it might be a better option.

Engine could be ok for transplant into a seven-esque kit car?

They do indeed come with a torsen equipped PG1 gearbox - I would guess that on it's own this would recover more than the value of scrapping the car.

There are some enthusiast clubs/forums and facebook groups, you shouldn't struggle selling through one of them. Joking aside it would be a shame to scrap it.

The default answer on PH with cheapy car sales is the 99p Ebay auction....it seems.

Can you be more descriptive? IIRC, these showed their age when they were new

Probs against PH rules, but how much are you wanting and where are you?

PM me if you want
