Well.

I made the mistake of drinking coffee late last night so could not sleep. looking around I noticed a rover 75 at Auction in Manchester at 10am this morning... So I arrived at 9.45 and by 10.15 I had bought it and was back on the road by 11am..... not much time to think if that was a good idea or not...

It is a Jap Spec 75 with 44000 miles 6 stamps and seems in good shape in the 30 seconds I had to look at it. It is being delivered on Tuesday. Paid a bit more than I wanted but a couple of traders were trying to get it.

All the bits on it HK stereo, powerfolds etc and of course the flare clip on the passenger side

The same as member on here Jezzer1,his car was on display on our stand at the NEC and it was stunning..

Great combination Dorchester/aubergine..

I have the sister car to Jeremy's at the moment I think it is 3 digits away. I have just put in in the for sale section.

I do think it is a great colour combination, but I guess I better as I just bought it.

Great car, is this the one you were looking at?

uk_dave&gill · 2nd December 2011, 16:38

Drivers seat looks a loooong way forward on Pic 2 - wonder what was going on there?!

Dominic22 · 2nd December 2011, 16:39

No, that went before I got to it. Sort of kicked myself. Then this appeared, actually less mileage and better spec but difficult to tell really until it appears on Tuesday, from the limited time I had it seems in great shape.

6 Stamps up until 38000 so not been neglected. Was a trade in from Lookers. I imagine they gave the owner peanuts for it. I paid a bit of a premium but with low mileage I guess that is inevitable.

Plus BCA fees are ridiculous.

did look at that. I think it was just moved forward to Valet as the guy drove it through fine
