Default T868 BCC - R75 V6 Auto

This car has popped up for sale on Autotrader. I can't imagine a T reg having survived this long without it being an enthusiasts car. Does anyone recognise it?

It looks as if it might be a dealer launch car. I need the VIN!

Thanks Andy.

It is a dealer launch car, built on the same day as mine, 24th May 1999.

It needs to be saved.

Hmm, I'm in Sheffield next weekend, I might pop and have a look at that, I reckon Mrs MB's Classicasseur might look quite nice with a Neptune Blue interior, and I can scrap the rest.

Cheers for the link

Guessing it is tongue in cheek, but if someone could sort you the door cars these are on eBay

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-75-...YAAOSwukldLjZv

Better than an overpriced rusty Bangor.

You need the carpet, dashboard and door cards, as well as the headlining, so a complete donor car to get it right, and I've no love for a V6 with over 150K on the clock so would have no problem breaking one for bits

Not tongue in cheek at all I'm afraid, I am as serious as a heart attack, if it's clean and tidy I'm planning on taking it to it's final destination
