1999 Connoisseur 2ltr V6 Auto

I know I've said it before but.....
I've decided its time to sell my Rover. I did more miles in my Minor last year than I did in the Rover and it seems a bit daft to to have it sat on the drive.

Its a great car, looks nice, runs well, MOT'd to 28th August.
Always starts first time but still (see link below for more details) loses coolant. Its a mystery to me. Its been the same ever since I've owned it (over 7 years now), doesnt seem to leak, no mayo, runs well, V is ok, doesn't overheat (OBD reads spot on) so I've just topped it up every weekend.

Everything works - heated seats, rear blind, aircon (though hasn't been regassed for a while), cruise control etc. Original radio & multi-cd is available if wanted.

I think its fairly priced at Â£750

Details
If you are reading the linked details - I changed the inlet manifold gaskets and havent seen any warnings on the OBD since.

I hate the thought of the old girl ending up on ebay or webuyanycar so if anyone on here would like her for £500 please let me know.
I'll refit the original stereo though if I get time - would be nice to have proper hands-free in the Morris Minor :¬)
