Here is a video Bob of your Rover 75 I made 3+ years ago at The Caldecott Arms called The Black Pearl.....enjoy! https://youtu.be/SxFTVcLMR0o

In the second video why wasn't a 2.5 V6 used to compete instead of the 2.0 V6, seems a bit odd to me.

The Rover 2.0 V6 (my car) was unfairly out weighted by the other performers. I think the press had it in for the 75. I would like to have seen a more balanced choice of cars.
