I'm 46..though people do say i look much younger than my years

Anyway a discussion was held on here a while ago now,the findings of this discussion was that the average age of the owner/member of this cub was mid forties..if i recall correctly.

33 and drive a Connie SE CDTi, best car I ever had, powerful, smooth and Comfy/safe for the little ones. 80k miles on her and will be keeoing her beyond 280k unless it falls apart.

Cant replace the quality,luxury, power and look without going for a ubiquitous euro box for more money.

No Chance.

48 years old, but had my first Rover a 2200TC at 19 years, followed by a 3500S and then another 2200TC before upgrading to an SD1 and all this in my 20's.

They are perceived as an old man's car because of the longevity of the marque before we all know what happened. Plus non Rover 75 owners always have that slight hint of jealousy about them that they love the cars but can't get their brains to accept it is a Rover, their loss

Im 42 and have owned and driven Rover cars for 12 Years, so started at the ripe old age of 30.

Everyone I knew has used the old "Its an old mans car" comment.

Nothing wrong with an old mans car.
The older, the wiser.
So best choice is made by older people.

Im 24 and have a 190. Yes it's very expensive to insure and has it's faults but I love it. Before this I had a rover 416 since I was 22.

I'm 43 with a pimped zt. I too believe the 75 is an old mans car

, but it doesn't matter does it.

carguy143 · 12th September 2011, 10:16

My step dad refers to the zt as a grandads car.

Just gone 50 (1961 was a good year

). Have a ZT and will soon have either a 75 or another ZT to share the miles. Can't see me in anything else TBH. Such underrated cars.
