Terrible if sale due to an untimely death
From Two-Sixties,
Hi,
Please see my video posted on Youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjRt_LsASUA
Named Rover 75 V8 German Autobahn, this car is a completeley standard automtaic. I filmed its performance on level ground to give it a fair trial. I live in Belgium and this car reguarly travels long distances at this kind of speed and is a reliable high speed cruiser I like it.
What was Rovers claim for top speed, I thought it was 155MPH limited? but this car will only give me 150-152 MPH, In my experince you can surpass the manufacturers claim and get another 10 MPH or so but in this car this is not the case.
What i find interesting is how fast it goes from 100MPH - 140 MPH but at 150 MPH it it is constant but still has another 1000 RPM to the red line, maybe down hill she may pull 155-160MPH. I just wondered what other owners found in manual cars or in MG versions.By the way this car can do these speeds for Kilometer after Kilometer hour after hour, they dont get hot, rev well within tolerance and are very comfortable for wind noise, road speed and Road stability.
Let me know what you think to this and the video
All the best.

I'd like to know a little more about the car - is it on Autotrader, or on-line? Any means of contacting the owner?
