Rover 75 Diesel Auto Contemporary 51 Reg. **SOLD**

SOLD

For sale 51 plate Diesel Auto Contemporary 158,000 miles 11 months MOT, No Road Tax.

This car has 4 good tyres is mechanically sound and drives superbly, the only things required for it's recent MOT were an ABS sensor, two bulbs and both front drop links.
The rear of the nearside sill has been replaced due to a bad previous replacement of the nearside quarter panel which led to corrosion of the outer skin. ( there is an area of bad paint reaction where it was repaired but not noticeable unless you look closely see pic below)

As you would expect from a car this age there are a few chips and scratches to the paintwork and whoever had it last must have had sandpaper for hands as the steering wheel is quite worn. There is a tear to the side of the drives seat also the IPK doesn't always display D when drive is selected although the gearbox works perfectly (rebuilt at 108,000 miles approx)

Car has most service history to date and has just had a full service carried out.

This car will not win any beauty competitions but is an honest car and should still give many more miles of reliable service.

SOLD

Of course Russ and the overseas models had other different names too.
The lack of LHD feature threw me
