Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1961 Rover 100, with an extensive service history from 1967-1979, sold for £2,900 against an estimate of £2,000-£3,000. The vehicle is noted as being very original and running well, with significant supporting documentation including MOTs and receipts.
Key attributes influencing the sale price appear to be its originality, documented maintenance history, and the appealing estimate range for a classic vehicle of this era. The presence of a current V5 and a comprehensive history file adds to its value.
Condition
7
The car is described as 'very original and running well' with an 'extensive service history'. However, it is a 1961 model, and while it has a good history file, the description does not suggest it is in pristine or outstanding condition. A 'Very Good' rating seems appropriate, acknowledging its originality and running condition while accounting for its age and the possibility of minor wear not explicitly detailed.
