Cool For sale; rover 75 contemporary 2.5l in firefrost *** NOW SOLD***

My Rover 75 2.5l automatic in firefrost red.
Bought from lovely retired couple, former members on here, who owned it since it was delivered to them in august 2005.
Lots of service history from the years they owned it, including sales invoice.

Only sold by them as car spent most of its latter time owned by them on the driveway while they used the husbands new car.
They lived in Glasgow, as we all know, the weather can be a little harsh at times so unfortunately as it was sitting on the drive some of the front and rear suspensions rusted up nastily.

This has been replaced since i purchased the car( see description below).

A list of some of the features from new:- auto dimming and rain sensor rear mirror/ heated electric memory leather seats/ dual climate air con.(ice cold)/ 60/40 split rear seats/ ash grey interior with dark oak dash and trim/ electric windows front and rear.

Items i have added as an upgrade:- heated windscreen/ powerfold heated mirrors/ 8" head unit with dab box, igo primo sat nav, dvd, cd, sd card slot for putting your music onto and playing through car speakers, bluetooth, usb plugs,/ new ipk installed by ricksta to eliminate lines in display/ standard arial replaced with shark fin with connections for dab and fm and gps, although i didn't use the sat nav connection, worked fine just positioning the connection supplied with the unit behind the dash/ refurbished headlights with colour coded surrounds/ premium bumper with new for lights and indicator assemblies/ chrome door finishers/ chrome and leather gear handle.

Repairs and renovations:- front subframe removed and replaced with refurbished and undersealed replacement with new fixings/ anti roll bar treated the same and refitted with new bushes brackets and bolts/ new subframe braces and undersealed and bolts/ new suspension struts- shocks, springs,top bearings and fixings/ new anti roll bar drop links/ new lower arms and bushes/ new lower engine mounting bracket/ new undersealed brake disc backplates/ new brake hoses/ new front brake calipers/ new front brake pipes front to rear.
Rear subframe replaced with refurbished and undersealed replacement with new fixings/ rear anti roll bar and new bushes and brackets and bolts/ new rear shock absorbers/ brand new upper rear suspension arms and bushes and bolts/ new exhaust back box fitted a same time/ new thermostat/ cambelts recently changed by Lates along with new tensioner and idler pulleys and bolts, water pump and bolts, new sprocket bolts, new camshaft seals, new auxillary belt, coolant change at same time plus engine oil and filter.

I think that it!!

One niggle is the rear parking sensors occasionally go off when you put into reverse even when no obstruction. Have checked the wiring and put my ear to each sensor and all seems fine. Not sure why it happens?

MOT until march 2024, two advisories last time; engine undertray fitted and slight noise from underneath which turned out was one of the lower arm bush bracket bolts needed tightening and all quiet1

Two keys.
Car is on a sorn so cannot be driven on road until taxed.
Bodywork in good condition,the odd mark which will probably buff out not too obvious.
Oh yes, there is a genuine rover 75 umbrella on the rear parcel shelf!
Cash or bank transfer on collection.

Any questions please ask!
PRICE NOW REDUCED TO £2,000

Thanks for looking!
