No - 25K miles, but with Hiline Nav, sunroof, 18 inch Vortex wheels etc etc:xmas-smiley-031:

Or there's my other one:



6K miles, 1 owner from new, Hiline Nav etc. Not sure I'd get £8995.00 for it though.

I love them to bits - there's also the rarity factor as well, and they are so understated. Not Chavvy like some of the German cars.

I think that the V8 75's are even more unerrated than the V8 ZT/ZTT's.

i have one of the later but love the Rover versions my guess is, on the move (20-50, 40-70 etc), the Rover version is quicker (being an auto) as well ??

Default Rover 75 V8 11k miles

Hi All,
I went to see this car last week - as part of my decision making ZT v 75.
Is too pricey for me at 8,995 but should be some scope for negotiation as there is no service history, handbooks etc as all paperwork is missing and only 1 key.
Seller is TCS Danbury and Andy of TCS was a nice guy and they deal in unusual and rare cars.
Car was supplied new by Whitehouse, Dartford and registered to owner in Bexleyheath - moved to Essex. Car has always been garaged and only used occasionally and since owner died 2 years ago has been standing in garage.
Car started and drove well - brakes and suspension felt OK and no squeaks from dried out rubber bushes etc but imo the car will need a comprehensive inspection in view of time has been standing. Bodywork and interior is as you would expect for low mileage and wheels have been refurbished.
Hope this helps anybody who is considering viewing
Regards
Gary
PS I've been following 260's for some time on this site and Two Sixties - was close to buying a ZT 260 in 2007 (Tim Hayter was extremely helpful) but circumstances changed as I took a job overseas and SWMBO didn't want a V8 to look after while I was in the land of sun, sand and camels! Now looking at long last to 'upgrade' from my ZT 190
