"This car is basically a Jaguar with a Rover badge on it".

The piping on the seats is interesting though. My sandstone leathers only have the piping around the egde of the seat yet his has it around the inset panels of the seats too.

I wonder if the Jaguar Club SE models suffer the same as their Rover brothers do?

So it appears RED is the NEW (or old) BROWN

I hope as do others he gets the full asking price

A rare car should get a rare price

hahaha what a great advert, made me smile.

seller has now added some more blurb, someone has rattled his cage, but at leat he admits his mistake

On 20-Oct-08 at 09:04:38 BST, seller added the following information:It appears the colour of the car is listed as "Dorchester Red" on the stamp (CODE: CDW), located on the passenger door plate. I was going by the V5 which states "Brown" Sorry for any confusion.

Well - he does say he loves Audi, BMW and Volvos - so don't expect his ad to make sense or for him to readily admit his mistakes (remember how drivers of these cars conduct themselves on the road)...!

It was part of project drive, they dropped the inner piping, Rover emblem on the headrests & also changed the qaulity of the leather.:lol:

Also remember that V6 engines only have 4 "sparks".

It's a nice looking car but 6 previous owners? I know I'm naturally sceptical, but why has it been sold on so often?

Like Rover 75 drivers?

Well at least 1 audi driver does!

Well it obviously did not sell...due to NON-SHOWER.....maybe if it had rained it would have sold!
What a jerk...this is just typical of the standard of ads on ebay now...would anyone in their right mind pay substantial money for something advertised up like this?
