Trimani’s beloved Rover 75

Dorset Bob · 23rd January 2017, 18:21

Redfive has been approached by Alf’s family as they wish to find a new owner for his car.
Ian and I have both viewed the car, at the weekend, and we feel that it is so well presented that it deserves a new owner who will continue to cherish it.

Anyway, here are some details:

The car is a 2.0V6 Automatic and is the top of the range Connoisseur SE model.
Full service history, with extensive records, the current mileage is 96,000.
Cambelts done circa 15,000 miles ago
Being an earlier example, it is fitted with a real walnut dash and this one has a particularly attractive grain.
Full chrome grill.
Door finishers.
Driver side cup holder.
Upgraded led tail lights.
Upgraded Halo headlights with DRL, supplied and fitted by Klarzy.
Sound system has been upgraded with a fitted amplifier and Infinity speakers.
The car also has the latest Navall android system, which Alf was in the process of fitting.
Coolcat has kindly offered to complete the installation of the unit FOC, at his premises in Clacton.
Rear parking camera.
Upgraded "Push to Test" VIS motors, supplied by Stocktake.
Early black header tank.
Extra Upgraded walnut trim.
Arctic handbrake compensator fitted.
Checked by PhilT4 at the Sammy Miller meet
Premium Contact 5s fitted all round, with good tread remaining.
The car has a current MOT, which is valid until the 2nd June 2017.

I have set up a Flickr library here, with some images of the car.

and some images below:

There are also lots of other finishing touches, which are too numerous to mention.

It is hard to find fault with the car. There were a couple of advisories on the last MOT, with drop links and brake pads, and the handbrake needs adjusting.
However, Alf had sourced the parts (quality components) and they will be included in the sale.

There are very small splits in the corners of the two front leather seats, which they all seem to have (mine are worse), but with Alf, being a perfectionist, he has sourced new leather covers, which will be included in the sale.

There is also boxes of tools and other spares (pollen, oil filters, trim etc) and a host of other items, that will also be included.

I know the car well and in the past I have driven it from Poole up to the Midlands and back. It really is a fine example and drives as well as it looks.

The price is £1995.

Ian has kindly offered to meet and show the car to anyone who is interested.

So, any contact should be made via PM to Redfive.

Thanks for looking guys.

It has been pointed out that I failed to mention the MOT on the car.

It is valid until the 2nd June 2017, and I have amended the post above.

Another point, for anyone wishing to view the car, is that it is located at Poole Quay.

Just a bump on this, as the above edit was outside my control.

Another bump on this as I have received the following additional information from Radioguy, which I thought would be useful to put up in a separate post.

“I wanted to mention that Alf's Navall also included a DVR camera, Tire Pressure Monitor which was actually in transit when he passed. It also was to have the DVB receiver which he had from his previous unit.

I also wanted to mention that the warranty will remain intact for the Navall's new owner.”

The Tyre Pressure monitoring system has in fact arrived, and will be included with all of the other goodies.

Thanks, Sean!

The car is now sold pending payment.

Dorset Bob · 2nd February 2017, 17:38

Just to let you all know that, yesterday afternoon, Alf’s car was collected by the new owner.

The car is in good hands and has been sold to an enthusiast, who recognises it as a future classic.

The new owner has joined the club, so maybe we will have the pleasure of seeing this wonderful car in the future.

To sign off on this, I just wanted to give a special thanks to Redfive, who has been the man behind the scenes.
Ian has been brilliant and co-ordinated the sale including making himself available for viewings etc.
Thanks mate!

Cheers all,
Bob
