Chatsworth Tourer Project for someone?
 
Nothing to do with me, but I know a few people like a Chatsworth.

Auto low mile diesel (MOT failure though) with Vortexes on it. :shrug:

Looks like it needs the front end sorted (or has been hit), but it is relatively cheap when you think of it as a package (wheels, colour, mileage etc)

I think they're the more common 17" Starspokes ;)

Could make a nice car with some TLC though :}

I thought they were 17s, but always thought both 17 and 18s were called vortexes (vortices? lol)

the 17inch 5 spoke ones (with the little spokes between) are star spokes, the 18inch ones with 6 spokes (again with little spokes between) are vortexs. Star spokes are common, vortexs are rare :)

Well spotted that the car is chatsworth, at a quick glance I would have thought it was just grey in those pics.

Shame I am not nearer - would be a great pairing with my Chatsworth ZT, and I even have a set of refurbed Starspokes which are waiting to go on my Contemporary, but could have been diverted.

I was quite tempted for this, however it’s overpriced for the work required, and possibly a cat c? According to the monogram facebook group it is anyway.
Besides, I don’t think I could bring myself to scrap another chatsworth tourer...

It is a Category C

“Rover 75 Connoisseur SE Diesel 2004. In good condition for year,in a lovely Bronze colour which looks green sometimes depending on viewing angle / Sun...... a very good looking car, with a beautiful beige leather interior, which is in very good condition. Power windows, mirrors, sunroof, seats(heated) all working as they should. There are minor dings and age related marks on. BMW engine / trans starts, runs and changes smoothly and was used daily until MOT fail last December, see refusal notice pic The car was a category C write off in 2011 but long since been back on the road. Repairs and advisories as indicated on MOT but well worth a look..Air con needs a charge and the steering controls, radio, cruise etc are not connected.Parking sensors giving a an audible warning when ignition is first turned on, but then they go off.”

Had a look at this car this morning , needs a lot of work to make it A1, rust bubbles on the bonnet , N/S cill , rear N/S wheel arch , paint scratches around the body and front bumper , wheels definitely need a refurb , looks like a MOT failure on the rear subframe and the rear arms don't look too clever , the passenger side carpet was soaking wet front and rear . On the plus side it started easily and ran well and at 81k the engine is barely run in , the interior was tidy enough but could do with a good clean , if you could do the work yourself there is nothing here to be scared of , BUT if you had to pay someone to do it, it could get expensive , the MOT expired in November 2019 so factor that in ,if it wasn't for the rare colour it would be worth a couple of hundred quid ?

Nice heads up for folk

I remember trying to sell mine, overall it was almost certainly in better condition than that one but needed a Passenger sill repair, front suspension overhaul, a full drivers respray And it was a v6 with 130odd thou on it. Best offer I got was 400 and it wasn’t a write off. Think at £700 it’s well above what it should be worth, even given it’s one of about 20 tourers. If it wasn’t a write off I think £500 would be as much as it should be worth in its current state.
