I managed to guess its registration...it never even got a new MOT, it was SORN and then who knows what happened after that to leave it in that state. From the last MOT it had it looks completely fine!

If anyone can find out more with the Reg it’s RA53OSM

It is a 135bhp 2.0 cdt Connoisseur with manual transmission in Starlight Silver (and mud) with Ash Grey interior. Born on 16th Sept 2003.

I bet it would start given a cpl hrs fettling

Body work wise, sills might need replacing and the bonnet certainly will. But from what I can see it doesn’t look bad. It’s a looked after example (up until now), maybe used as a company car as on its first MOT in 2006 it had 84,000 miles. Quite possibly a MG Rover exec could’ve had it. in its 17 year existence has only failed 4 MOTs, which isn’t too bad.

Can the reg be OSM? didn't think they used O Because it looks like a zero

Guess I must be wrong ignore me lol

Sad to see one of our great cars in such a sorry state.

I thought so to. But came up as Rover 75 Silver. And Reebs got some more info on the car so it’s definitely the correct plate. Maybe the law came in in 2004?
