[naefeart]

Came across this advert while browsing PH: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1981066.htm

Look at the comment at the bottom of the add

How strange!

 

[Witor]

Wee lol came out of my mouth

 

[Slinky1989]

O_o....wow

Still, look at that rear leg room!

 

[Will Gill]

red rag to an immature bull, one way to insure he carries on doing it as it's clearly invoked the response he/she (?) was looking for!

I feel like phoning the number to insult his wife. Seeing as its a Phonesafe number, the police would have a hard time tracking it, too.

12" stretch massive lulz!

£18,000 conversion BIGGEST WTF EVER!!!

sale add is weird too,

 

[Clarkey]

Modification is completely bizarre

Im thinking about ringing him up and abusing him and his wife for allowing him to spend £18000 on piece of **** car.

I suspect the conversion was carried out when the car was brand new and was for the purposes of business - perhaps a chaffuer service, funeral car, or something.

 

[Robbo]

Generic Rover driver, right there!

But funeral cars are always black, and who would want to be chauffeured in a Rover? I can't get my head around why anyone would do this tbh.

I thought Rover 800's were always that long? Looks like the chap has just folded the front seats forward.

 

[InvaderGIR]

Well I think I see Rover416i's next purchase.

 

[End Creditz]

It was probably used by a local borough council for ferrying the mayor around. They like wasting large sums of money on tat like that.

14 years ago lots of people would have wanted, and indeed were, to be chauffeured in something like a Rover 800. It was a higher end car, no matter how much we laugh now.

Probably the best suggestion so far.

It almost certainly wasn't - you dont do that then flog it for 1500 quid.

It will have been a conversion when new.
