Bought a 75 at last
 

On the day i had an email to say my yearly subscription was about to end, i was browsing through some adverts and saw a 75 for sale.

OK to cut a long story short i am now, at last the owner of a British Racing Green Rover 75. It is only an 03 plate but on a test drive it run very well along with half a tank of diesel in the car.

The last owner sadly passed away and it was of no use to them, I quickly made a phone call and went to see it. I am back in work tomorrow so the next time i will be able to start cleaning and polishing and checking things out will be next weekend, it will go in for a valet, they can do the hard work on the inside just to make it fresh.

MOT until January 2019, good tyres and the best bit, only 53k on the clock. It is only the base model along with cloth seats and a funny thing called a cassette player.lol

Will update and probably want plenty of advice in the near future, I would like to put some leather seats in it too so if any are available at a decent price let me know please.

Welcome along at long last mate! :D:D:D

Congratulations! :clap:
And best wishes for your project.
Waiting for pics! :drool4:

Sounds lovely. If the interior/seats are good, why change? The leather seats only have leather facings, the rest is vinyl - my front ones are split near the hinges. Fortunately, the seat heaters work, - otherwise cold on the btm in winter. Happy polishing!

Well done:D

Well done, good choice of colour. ;)

Congratulations with your new acquisition, first thing to do is check the plenums to make sure they are nice and dry and free from dross!
Cheers

Leather is easier to clean when my little dog decides to launch himself into the car before I can clean him after a walk.
Not worried about seat heaters, but just prefer leather.

What is more important is the passenger seat height. The Mrs says it is too low. I did mention a cushion but she was not impressed with that so I will need to sort it out so it is higher. It won't be on the road until the end of the month when it will replace the Citroën C5 as a second car.

Same remark from my sweetheart! :D
So I bought a cushion from the bay, not too bad.

Anyway how do you intend to manage the trick?
Because if the seat is higher, that doesn't change the car height and unless the Mrs is petite her head may bang up to the upper aperture...:shrug:
