Default How to advertise

Came across this on E Bay; has nothing to do with me, I just thought what a great ad, well presented with detail and fantastic photo's. Do not know if it belongs to a member but obviously someone that knows the issues, and has spent wisely

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-75-2...EAAOSwRUhY~0yx


I do apologise if someone has previously listed this

That BMW badge definitely halves the value mind you!

Yes that jars with me as well -

In fact - is it me or does that engine cover look very different to the one on my M47R ? - the air intake inparticular.

But really good photos and a well looked after car it would seem.

Great detail. There are some appalling adverts out there.

I do wish people would stop advertising the great looking ones until the middle of May when I'll be in a position to buy one though!

it would be nice to see an advert for a Diesel that didn't say "BMW engine" in the title, though.
great write up though. that should sell reasonably quickly I bet

Yes I thought that but the moulding shape looks to me to be different to how I remember mine looking. It's probably me and I cannot be bothered to go and check mine right now as I am nice and warm and outside there is one heck of a frost.

I'm sure the cover is standard, looks like an early one because it's got Rover on rather than international (I think it is)

Yes, looks a std cover. Has the intake 'mod,' a no-no because it removes the shedder (bellows/water trap) I think it may have looked better with black mesh stuck on, stands out too much.

Gah, why do people do this, it looks a nice car, however it will need a MAF sensor and air intake duct



If this hadn't been an automatic, I would have been interested in it myself
