The 75 and ZT Owners Club Forums - For sale; rover 75 contemporary 2.5l in firefrost *** NOW SOLD***

My Rover 75 2.5l automatic in firefrost red.
Bought from lovely retired couple, former members on here, who owned it since it was delivered to them in august 2005.
Lots of service history from the years they owned it, including sales invoice.

Only sold by them as car spent most of its latter time owned by them on the driveway while they used the husbands new car.
They lived in Glasgow, as we all know, the weather can be a little harsh at times so unfortunately as it was sitting on the drive some of the front and rear suspensions rusted up nastily.

This has been replaced since i purchased the car( see description below).

A list of some of the features from new:- auto dimming and rain sensor rear mirror/ heated electric memory leather seats/ dual climate air con.(ice cold)/ 60/40 split rear seats/ ash grey interior with dark oak dash and trim/ electric windows front and rear.

I think that it!!

One niggle is the rear parking sensors occasionally go off when you put into reverse even when no obstruction. Have checked the wiring and put my ear to each sensor and all seems fine. Not sure why it happens?

MOT until march 2024, two advisories last time; engine undertray fitted and slight noise from underneath which turned out was one of the lower arm bush bracket bolts needed tightening and all quiet1

Two keys.
Car is on a sorn so cannot be driven on road until taxed.
Bodywork in good condition,the odd mark which will probably buff out not too obvious.
Oh yes, there is a genuine rover 75 umbrella on the rear parcel shelf!
