For Sale 850R Auto Estate

Gunter Schimmel · Apr 29th, 2017, 22:06

I am selling my loved 1997 850R Auto Estate. I have been the current owner for the last 16 years. The colour is Anthracite pearlescent grey.

This car has NEVER let me down and EVERYTHING works. It has covered a mere 200,628 miles and the engine pulls like a train. It has not wanted for anything and has been serviced to the book. It had a new cambelt, water pump and drive belt at 186k and 4 new tyres 1k ago. The PCV has been changed. The speedo mileometer cogs have also been replaced. It has a tow-bar which has been used for occasional bike rack.

The interior is unmarked leather/alcantara (black) with only minor wear commensurate with the car's age. MoT'd till September.

It has self-levelling rear suspension (new shocks about 8k ago) and the 7 seat boot 'jump' seats. I am only selling this car as my growing family needs more space. There will be tears.

It is standard and original throughout, never 'fettled' or 'messed' around with. The front grill is the only change and I have the original.

I have resprayed the front bumper 3 times and it would benefit from being done again. There are some other minor exterior cosmetics that a new owner might like to do. This is a 22 year old 'classic' and attracts admiring comments regularly.

I am inviting offers from interested individuals and am happy to answer any questions and send you a portfolio of pics on request. Simply ping me an email at: schimmel58@gmail.com The car is based in Worcestershire and is used every day so the miles will increase marginally until sold.

It would be better if you linked to, or added, pictures to your post.

And gave some indication as to the price you're selling at.
