Rover 2.0 diesel connoisseur automatic **SOLD**
The time has come to sell our Royal Blue Metallic 2.0 diesel connoisseur automatic which we have owned since new, so I am offering this in the first instance to forum members. I am looking for £1,300 for the car with everything listed below The car was built on 13th Feb 2002 then dealer registered 3rd April 2002 and subsequently purchased by my wife on 6th May 2002. It is currently on SORN on its original registration of SD02 ASO with 139k on the clock and MOT expiry date is 10th September 2015 This car has been extensively featured on this forum via the following topics where the entire suspension was completely stripped out and new springs and shocks fitted: https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=88491 http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=111878 Included in the sale is; A large A4 binder with every receipt, original invoice and letters between myself and MG Rover,my full word diary log (30 pages), a spreadsheet of all expenses incurred (6 pages) and still to be printed if required a separate spreadsheet showing practically every fuel fill up since new.I also have a copy of the build date information, full MOT history check and my own detailed service check sheets.I am also willing to supply a memory stick with the 100's of photos of the car during its life. I doubt if there is any Rover 75 currently for sale with so much information about its history. The Car was serviced for the first three years by Rover main dealers then serviced by myselfever since. The photographs show its general condition which I would say is extremely good especially the interior and as you will see from the forum topics it has undergone some extensive mechanical restoration work.The paintwork does have a few chips and dings in it conclusive with the mileage covered. It has a new windscreen fitted as on the very day we purchased its replacement (Jaguar XF) the car suffered a cracked windscreen. New front wings were recently fitted as the original wings were rusty as a result of the mud flaps wearing the paint down to bare metal.The front drop links have also recently been replaced. As we used the car for towing the last two years the engine was upgraded from 117 to 130 by "MarinaBrian"I intend to remove the tow bar for possible use on my V6 The car drives just the same as the day we purchased it but with better power as a result of the upgrade, the auto gearbox is silky smooth and has been regularly serviced with three oil changes in its lifetime. The FBH or fuel burning heater although was fully stripped down and serviced including the fuel pump does not fire up. I am sure this only requires the printed circuit repair as per "French Mike" on this forum. I have simply blanked off the radiator with a blind each winter to keep the car running warmer. The Extras :Full sized alloy wheel,Boot mounted warning triangle,Smiley rear number plate6 disc CD auto changer,Custom built in Garmin Sat Nav,Extra wood trim on centre console at heater controls,Custom made walnut veneer trims to seat sides,Leatherette style handbook wallet which includes original brochure,full set of aftermarket floor mats,Mud flaps to rear only,Handbrake modification,Plenum drain modification,Bonnet release cable modification,Engine upgrade to 130 PS,Custom cruise control modification for easier use of resume on/off. http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...pscw7ufxha.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...psfaquis53.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...pshwivjg3e.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...pst8za5vau.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...psrhrnq2c0.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps0k1sbynl.jpg If anyone is interested please PM me to arrange viewing etc. I live in South Ayrshire near Ayr. At this moment I have not advertised the car elsewhere. A couple of shots I missed on first posting, this one shows the sat nav un clipped from the car. The power cable stows neatly under the "eyebrow" http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...psmvjh0obl.jpg This is the final rear quarter shot and I forgot to say it has all four doors fitted with chromed handle inserts, the original Rover ones. I also recently refurbished the union flag on the boot and replaced the Rover boot logo. http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...psvy6sae6u.jpg Jim Jamieson |

Thanks guys for all your comments and interest in the Missus's car.
It looks like it wont be sitting too long but I have to say it will be a sad day for Mary when she sees it going down the road as even this afternoon she was singing its praises. It was her car and she covered most of the mileage in it. BTW I have just realised that there are some diesel only spares in the workshop which will be of little use for my V6 so they will be going with the car. I'm talking about second hand intercooler hoses and some new I think power steering hoses. They were in a box of spare parts that were being binned from a coachworks my son worked in years back so he brought them home to Dad. |
Hello, more then interested! When is it available please?

That should sell in no time at all, very reasonably priced in my view. Must be really difficult to let the car go after owning it from new

Hi all
I am quite overwhelmed with the response to the missus's car with 6 persons showing an interest. I have e-mailed some further information to one of those but I have yet to answer all my recent pm's which I will do tomorrow. At the end of the day I do need to move the car within the next month to allow me to get my caravan home from winter storage so it will really be down to the first person to commit to purchasing the car. I am sorry if this sounds harsh but I cannot sell it to everyone. Also I have just realised that one of the links showing both my 75's does not work so I have placed it here; http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=88491 In addition to this I have a spare "eyebrow" for the dash should the new owner want to remove the sat nav which incidentally now shows that it is due for upgrading. I will do this on the PC tomorrow as it has life updates. Please be assured that this car is in perfect running order and I would have no hesitation in driving it any distance without worry. It is sitting with approx. 1/4 tank of diesel and also it will require to be road taxed and insured before it can be legal on the road. hope this helps. |
