I understand the first launch and roll out was in Spain.
They love them here as a consequence. Prices still holding up double and more.
I bought an ex Press car. 1999 - V6 Con - absolutely mint with every SE you can name. 17k clocked only, new tyres and full service - LHD Bought in West Brom Rover Dealer for 6k.
Had a private buyer in Spain willing to pay up to 16k Euro (this was in 2003). The local spanish Rover dealer gave me a Trade estimate at 14k Euro! Planned to sell then fly back to get the other three LHD ex launch models.
Sadly had a head-on smash in the French Alps - all round air bags worked fine...hardly a mess..should have seen the other car though!
Direct Line wrote it off and refused to pay book value - they said it was LHD so valued at least 25 per cent less!!!...even though I had EXPORTED it on a Green card Insurance!
Best laid plans and all that!
Would like another one now but haven't found anything the colours I like (Anthracite with Dark Brown Interior) and with such a fantastic SE spec anywhere.
If anyone stumbles across LHD models please let me know.
Thanks
