Driver age group?

Animesis · 14th December 2016, 21:14

Strictly speaking the car isnt mine but my partners, Im just the mechanic trying my best to keep the darn thing going ! It wasnt particularly looked after by past owners sadly and has needed a lot of work. But it has so many of the extras it wasnt a bad buy at all -last april/may-

Reading through some of the posts I started wondering what age range the car is most popular with, Im 28 and my partner 25.
Theres several Rovers driving around the Wokingham area, but as my partner says, they never wave back, and are usually ladies so perhaps not so much of a Rover fan as a Rover driver.

My dad bought his first 75 in 2006 so would have been 35 back then. I bought my ZT at 20

There are quite a few young owners about

I was 20 once. But now I'm 20x3.

Had my first ZT at 26/27 and my ZT-T 190 at 29, my 3rd ZT at 30 and my 75 at 31 which I have now.

I was 45 when i bought my 75, 48 now and enjoying 75 ownership all the way, yes several things have gone wrong/needed fixing, but this car is magic and has so much to give. Ideal car in almost every way for me. Hope to be driving this one for the next 3 years !

I was 19 when i bought my Rover 75 last year.
Im 20 now

people often tell me im too young to drive such a car (because im still a student)

But i dont care, the design of the Rover 75 is just pure class.

I was 18 when I bought my ZT V6 :O, now I'm 21, how time flies!

I was 48 when i bought my ZT, but Lydia is only 15 and is Rover /MG mad.

I was 33 when I had my ZTT V6 kept it for 10 years, spent a few years without one, then 12 months ago at 46 got a 75 160 and love it, just needs cruise control!
