That's a lovely car .

Mine's BRG with the Deep Sea Green interior, so I might be a bit biased. .

Hope to see you at a Nano quite soon - even if the headlights don't look as if they need polishing .

Take care.

A beautiful, timeless design that the Rover stylists got 100% right first time, you've got a lovely example there that you should be very proud of

I can't put my finger on it, but the early cars just seem to have a certain quality about them that was lost as time went on.

I really agree with you I really like my facelift MG, but this car to my eyes is better and Im quite envious! good job we dont know what it cost as it might make me doubt the small fortune Ive put into mine over the last couple of years!

I love little details such as the dealer number plates. It even has the original dealer tax disc holder.

Thank you. I'm certainly very proud to own it. I know what you mean about the quality of the earlier cars. In terms of fit & finish and overall quality it runs rings around my first 75, a 52 reg, and my Firefrost mk2. Real wood, nicer leather, nicer badges, embossed headrests, the list goes on and on.

That's a classy looking colur combo. And the serpent wheels just set it off a treat. Nice buy Alex

I’m “green” with envy. What a lovely example.

Get the cam belts done if not already done just to be on the safe side.

The best interior exterior combination in the 75 range by a mile. Just stunning.
