Worth keeping hold of? and Rover Streetwise
Hi guys, you are always so helpful on here, may I ask another question or two! Do you guys think the R75 will start to appreciate in value at some point? I guess the Mk1's will first....I dont know! Secondly, my partner has a 54 Rover Streetwise 1.4 SE, does anyone know of a club dedicated to Streetwise owners? Any info will be much appreciated as always. Thanks you.

The diesel Tourers are already going up in Price, but as with most things it depends on what people are wiling to pay.
Won't be getting rid of mine, thats for sure. Someone will be along shortly with advice on the StreetWise. |

There is of course talk in latest car mags that MG-N are planning their comeback, to include the ZT and the streetwise.... I always liked the streetwise...again it got some unfair press...but then like the pied piper....other manufacturers followed ....didnt VW copy it with a polo version? I think the streetwise was a a very clever way of re-designing an older model to mke it fresh and cool....MGR were strapped for cash and it is a testiment to the enginuity and resoursfulness of the employees at the last 'British' car manufacturer. Can anyone hear 'Land of hope and glory' playing in their head?

The 75 / ZT ?
It will be many years before these reach 'classic' status and rise in value in that respect. Cars generally go through the 'new', 'secondhand', 'cheap' and then the 'banger' categories before achieving any 'classic' status. No matter how fond we are of our cars the reality is they're never going to be worth really good money or prove to be a good investment in the money accruing sense of the word. Worth keeping as car which offers good value comfortable motoring - then yes. The only exception is to this is the V8 which may very well become something of a collectors car in years to come. The Streetwise ? Was a joke when it was released, is a joke now and always will be a joke. You'll be lucky if you can give it away in a few years. And that goes for the CityRover too.
