Old English white

0149geep · 2nd February 2014, 23:16

I have recently purchased an 04 reg Rover 75 2 litre CDTI connoisseur saloon in old english white which is absolutely immaculate having done only 51000 miles from new.I have previously owned 2 other Rover 75's but tourers.

Having read through this website over the past couple of days I am getting the impression that old english white is possibly quite rare and so, just out of interest,wonder if the club and/or its members have any knowledge of the numbers manufactured in this colour.

Any info would be appreciated.

Send a PM to Reebs the lead moderator, he has all the build dates etc, he will help when he has time. Mine in the avatar is Dover white by the way.

As far as I recall, they stopped using Old English White (Arran White) in year 2000.

I have two Saloons in this colour (T & V reg)

I think the later ones were a brighter White (like Spyder's Dover White perhaps ?)

You can get colour breakdown by the model here
It looks likely to be Dover White

According to these records there were 85 Connoisseur CDTi built, finished in this colour.

Edit:

You can also find your paint code and look up the finish by having a look at this page
