I've had a string of Rovers over the years but none have bitten me quite as much as my 75. Paid a pittance for it off the side of the road and it was looking a little tired although mechanically pretty sound and with a little elbow grease and a few new bits and help from some of the great members on here she's become my daily drive and i have no intentions on replacing her. I don't mind spending a bit of money to keep her on the road as owning a newer car would likely lose me as much in depreciation and i can't think of any car i've been in recently that just has the soul these old cars have. I need my car on a daily basis for work and i have more confidence in the reliability even at 160k than i have had in newer previously owned cars so it's a bit of a no brainer for me to keep her going
