Update on Bob, my Rover 75!

Sebastienclement · 24th July 2016, 20:09

I've had this car for almost a year and a half now (blimey!) taking the mileage from 51,000 miles to 71,000 miles (again, blimey!). It's been a slightly bumpy road over the past 6 months but I'm so heavily invested in this car now it is definitely a keeper - it's a good job I love it so much!

It's my 5th 75 and hands down it's the best one I've owned - it drives so so nicely. The list of completed work now stands at: droplinks, topmounts, droplinks (again!), wishbone bushes, new rear brakes, tyres all round, laser alignment, gearbox rebuild & offside sill repair.

Have had a nice run out today to Bourton-On-The-Water today (circa 150 miles round trip) and still can't believe how easily these eat miles up!

Enjoy some pictures:

Beautiful colour, agree with the smiley plate and I also preferred the original carpet mats, but it looks really nice buddy
