My Chatsworth Saloon Project
Hi all,
It's been a while since I've posted here, but I've very much been involved with all things Rover 75 still. For the past 11 years 75s have been my daily drivers and there aren't many other cars that I could see myself in. Over the past decade I have owned the following:
About a year ago I found a low mileage (11,800m) MK2 Chatsworth Saloon for sale locally. I've coveted a Chatsworth car for a LONG time, so I simply had to have it - so I did! It's been an interesting year of recommissioning, and more of a project that I ever thought it would be. But I'm now nearing the end of the recomiissioning process, and the car will be at some shows this year. We're already booked for the BMC Day at Gaydon & MG40 on the Monogram Stand. The work I've had done on the car in the last year comes to a good few thousand pounds, and includes:
There are other bits and bobs, but that's that main things. The front end of the car wobbled like jelly when I first got it at anything over 40mph. This turned out to be a culmination of a buckled wheel (thanks to the previous owner), warped discs, and out of balance wheels / tyres. The previous owner was elderly, and to be quite honest, based on some of the things I've found, he shouldn't have been driving. Because of this there is paintwork that will need doing, although the car is in excellent condition, it would be nice for it to be perfect. All that's left is to post some pictures below, and I'm sure that we'll see plenty of you guys at the shows this year |
