The break down driver told me the nos plates were worth £250, the garage told me my costs to keep it road worthy would be the same, the scrap dealer would give him £25 for it. Now my son, neither of us are car wise, has told me he looked on the internet and saw a car like ours and it was worth a considerable sum. ?

had rovers in the past ……..crap
I’m sorry to say its not worth anything really – if your ‘traded’ it in to a car garage they would not give you anything for it. Best thing to do is stick it on ebay if your really not sure and see what u can get for it….Might be someone looking for spares/ parts?

What kind of rover is it ??
If its a Metro, maybe not worth so much.
If its an old Mini, it could be worth holding onto !!
What is it ?

What is a Rover 998cc? I didn’t think Rover made any cars in 1989-1990 with a 998cc engine.

I agree with M C if its a metro its not worth it but if its a Mini it probably is, if you told us the model and what is wrong with it we could could be more help.

If I recall, 998 cc was the capacity of one of the Mini-Coopers of old. If it is one of those models then some enthusiast might consider it worth a few pounds. But if it is a Rover Metro then do as some one above has sugested – and scrap the hideous little monster! It was one of the reasons we no longer have a motor industry of any size!

As long as your car has an MOT you can sell the number plate before you scrap it, I can’t see how your car is worth loads, look on ebay, autotrader etc. By G reg do you mean 1989 / 1990 then I can’t see how it would worth spending money to keep it going, it’s not a rare car, or special they sold a lot of them and most cars at over 10 years old are worth buttons.
A mini from the ’60′s it reasonable condition can be worth a couple of thousand, more for a cooper version, but they are Austin not Rover.

I think we might need the colour of the car to ascertain if it is worth anything.
Oh Yeah and the model!

I have no Idea what it is worth but the thing to take into consideration is that Rover no longer exists as the company it used to be. I know a garage that I was speaking to said that they could not get many of the parts and the only way was to go to the breakers yard. This was some thing they had rarely done in the past.
So it may be worth more for its spares than to keep it on the road.
But if you need it kept on the road get estimates from at least six garages and ask your friends who they use and try them.
Never reveal you have been somewhere else and what they have said.

visit http://austin-rover.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/index.php and ask in there for a sensible answer!
You will need to be a bit more specific, car type(Mini or Metro) and what the mechanical problem is.
Friendly bunch and we will do all we can to help.
