Dam mate that is one fine looking car, you sure you don't want to sell it, I mean, you kinda already got more then you can drive at once hahaha
By the way, I am a mahooosive fan of the Connoisseur SE trim, which is why I am set for a Rover 75 V8 as opposed to the MG, but that said is there much of a difference ?
Yes, as Dave said the auto box is the main one - it's not the usual Jatco used in the FWD models, this was a Ford 4R75W 4 speed unit using a Siemens 2000 ECU. It suits the engine really well and is really smooth, too.

The other 75 in the picture is my fathers CDTi Auto - also a top spec Connie SE, now on 166k. I had to weld the sills at the rear for the MOT this year (getting quite common, now) as it was waaaaay too good to scrap.

Hope you find a good one
