Default does anyone know this car?

Looking for a good daily and came across this

https://www.gumtree.com/p/rover/imma...el-/1414207568

owner knows nothing of history and wondering if anybody here has knowledge of the car- very little mileage covered in last 4 years.

Would prefer a pre facelift but priority at the minute is for one in good condition, automatic or manual with recent clutch change by one of the gurus on here... any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Nice contemporary SE motor there.

63k on the clock, seems a good one to me.

Price a bit steep for a mk2 mind being a diesel auto, but they're nice seats (had a mk2 contemporary myself but prefer the mk1)

Hi joe
The reg looks familiar, I’m sure it’s been in at me for a visit, many years ago though.

With prices they way they are, that's insanely cheap for the mileage!
Lovely colour too.

Default South Croydon Area?

HELP NO LONGER REQUIRED VIEWING.

[As per my post in the "Need Help When Buying A Car Some Distance Away?" thread

Have spoken with Vince ( 5Amp) regarding his diesel automatic saloon for sale on the forum and he has kindly agreed for someone to look at the car on my behalf before I travel to view and test drive myself...

If anybody is willing to assist me with this then please let me know and we can make the necessary arrangements....

Thanks in advance]

Disregard request-

joe. bigblue75
