2.0 V6 Club SE Auto **SOLD**

kc13661 · 25th February 2014, 22:32

As some of you may have seen recently a member was selling a W reg Rover 75 2.0 V6 Auto, the car only had a matter of days left on its MOT, had he not found a home its fate was looking gloomy.
Well I purchased this car and as such have now put it in for an MOT, it failed on the following:

N/S Front Wishbone and Wishbone Bush
Number Plate Bulb
Windscreen Wiper Split

The work is currently been done and will be completed for the middle of next week, the reason I mention this is that the car will be available if any member wishes to purchase a cheap 75 with a full MOT and nearly 2 months Tax...

Bodywork is fantastic only a few minor scratches on the bumpers, the car is a pre project car, I have no history only that what I was told upon delivery. At present there is 96000 miles, the Automatic box changes smoothly and the car drives without any issues.

Because Forum Rules say a price must be added I am asking £500 however this is a top estimate, I have yet to get my total bill from mechanic, so could prove to be less; hopefully be around £400 to £450 in reality..... I am not after any profit.

The whole point of this was to save a 75 from the scrap yard; hopefully now it has a test it will gain a place with a member that will endeavour to give her a good home.

V5 and 2 keys present

So an update: Total price for the car will be £400 with FULL MOT and 2 Months TAX

Cheap car for someone

Good to see someone else with the same conviction, KEEP AS MANY 75'S ON THE ROAD AS POSSIBLE. Whoever buys this will have the best £400 they've ever spent.

We'll done for giving a 75 another chance.

Pleased to announce that the car sold this morning, no quibble deal to a very nice German Gentleman called Christian. He has had MG's etc and was really keen to get his hands on a Rover 75, from the moment he set his eyes on it, he wanted it. He is enthusiastic about getting on the forum and meeting other members.

The work carried out was:
New wiper Blades
New N/S Wishbone and Bush
New Number Plate Bulb

Ashtray replaced (would not stay closed)
Electric Window Switches Replaced (Drivers switch was faulty)

MOT Cost and Labour Charge

So pleased to say in less than a fortnight we have managed to save her from an ill fate, hopefully he will have many years of happiness and I am sitting here with a big smile.
