Really? That black 98 HSE in Goulburn for $10k looks pretty reasonable to me.Quote:

The warp on the rear bumper is not uncommon, and should be easy enough to fix. Those rims look ok, but I am glad he is including the originals as well.
Would be nice to see a pic of the front leather seats. The rear looks good.
Rego is up next month... may or may not be a sign of a pink-slip issue, or it could just be that he has hung on to it as long as he can and can't afford to keep it any longer.
I get the impression that this is more genuine than any I've seen advertised in car yards.
Cheers, Paul.
Ok, trip to Goulburn then!!
This!

According the numbers I found on here, it's engine number is 59D which makes it high compression. The blend motors have just been done. Headlining is sagging but he's getting a quote on that. he's also told me that it's been serviced by ULR and to call them to find out about service history.
I think I may be going to Melbourne this weekend....
FWIW My July1999 build 4.6 HSE has a "59D" series engine. The CR is the low compression 8.37:1 according to the stamp on the side of the block. Ron P38arover has advised previously that none of the high compression P38s (9.?:1) were imported here by LRA ...just so you know!! good luck in the hunt...Quote:

Purchased! 99 HSE.
Epic drive from Canberra to Melbourne on Friday after work.
Looked at two this morning. Just got home. Have to go back to pick it up.
Congratulations. :D
I'm looking forward to hearing how it all transpired. I bet you are tired but wrapt and that you can't wait to pick it up and drive it home.
The wheels look like it's a Bosch upgrade model... well done!
It is indeed the Motronic! And it even has two fobs! Although neither work lol.
We did a rush trip after work on Friday, arriving there at about 2am. In the morning it was out to brekkie and the dealer. He was in Hastings and the other RR was in Point Cook.
From his original price, the dealer came down $3.5 - so I don't think there was a lot left in it (never know really).
We took it for a drive up to Arthurs Seat and had coffee. Then we took it back, got lost, went down a couple of very rough dirty roads and took it back to the dealer. It just 'fitted'.
We looked at the other HSE, but at $4k more, plus being GEMS (and with questionable maintenance history), we decided we'd go the silver one if we could get it at a good price.
And Saturday afternoon we left Melbourne to arrive in Canberra at about 2am.
This one was originally a Rover Australia car (maybe some history in that?). The log books were faultless all along.
Here's the downside: It needs new rear brakes and headlining. I'm really not sure how it passed rwc....yeah.
I'll try to take a day off work on Friday and fly down to pick it up and hand over a cheque before driving it back up. I've got a wedding in Canberra to go to Saturday.
Anyone in the Melb area want to lend me their shed/tools to change some brake pads? :) Please?
