Rover 75 CDT Connoisseur For Sale

[Mobeetie]

My 75 which I have enjoyed owning for the last 4 years may shortly be up for sale, I will know for definite over the next few days so this thread is to see what interest there is and to see if i'm pricing it fairly.

It's a good condition, treasured 2002 CDT Connoisseur with extras

Firstly some photos:

As can be seen from the photos it has some nice extras, all of which will be remaining with the car.

It has done 120000 miles (60000 with my ownership mostly motorway) with part service history up until I bought it and then it has been serviced by myself, it is shortly due an oil & filter and air filter service.

It had a whole new clutch system fitted September 2012 with the best parts available, Bearmach Slave, AP Clutch and LUK Master and has performed faultless since.

It had new high quality rear springs fitted August 2013 and had a new high quality UBP fitted a few months ago.

The PCV filter was changed August 2011 and the MAF was changed with a genuine Bosch July 2010 and it has no symptons of a poor MAF and pulls strongly from low revs.

It was remapped in 2010 with a mild map taking the power to around 145 BHP.

It has an EGR bypass fitted and comes with a bolt on decat pipe and bolt on catalytic converter for easy removal and fitment.

It has an inline thermostat fitted and it runs at around 84-88 Celsius.
It always starts first turn of the key and runs perfectly all day long, there are no untoward noises of any kind, it drives faultlessly and pulls smoothly.

It has an MOT until mid June 2015 and the tax expires 31st May 2015.

It is fitted with very good condition free of corrosion MG 11 Spokes with good branded tyres in 225/45 R18 size, the fronts will shortly need replacing but the rears were new 8 months ago and have not worn much.

The spec of the car in addition to the above is as follows:

Cream heated electric leather (Not memory)
Rain sensing wipers
Auto-dim mirror
Radioguy double din headunit with bluetooth, digital TV and TMC.
Harman/Kardon system
Message centre and MK2 dials
Real walnut dash
Walnut steering wheel
Electric rear sunblind
Xenon headlights
Ambient lighting
Parking sensors
Private number plate
ZT steering rack
ZT lip spoiler
ZT exhaust heat shield and ZT style exhaust tips

It doesn't have cruise control or traction control.

The condition of the interior is very good and very clean, nothing to really mention of concern.

The exterior has the obligatory marks of a car of this year and mileage, but in addition has a medium sized but light scuff on the front bumper, the drivers door has an unusual disturbance in the paint which I will photograph later.

The rear bumper has a small indentation on the lower centre and has a very faint scuff on the near side lower.

I'm not sure how to price this as it is a well looked after and maintained enthusiast owned car and I'm including with it all the additions but for now I would think around £2000 would be pressing firmly against the upper limit so I am very much open to offers.

Thanks for your PM. Unfortunately I'm not able to sell my 75 yet but hope to be able to create a full For Sale thread before the end of September.

That's one beautiful 75 mate a real credit to you! It will sell in no time. I'd have it off you if I was looking for another 75

is that a 190 badge on the driver's wing?

That's one of the coolest-looking 75s I've seen. Truly stunning.
