Unfortunately (for me) Fortunate (for one of you lucky lucky people).......

I let my heart rule my head, and when selling my 75 for a much needed Van, I spotted Steve916's Gorgeous Beastie for sale, and my heart took over.

So the inevitable has happened, the old van has packed up and given up the Ghost, so the Rover will have to go.

Here' s a list of what has been done(From Steve's Listing, plus a few things he forgot to mention). Im sure you can ask me or him anything about the car.

Mechanicals :-
2005 54 model
1.8 N/A engine
Head gasket, belts and water pump done 6 months ago by Dave in Derby.
New clutch by Andy Willi last year.
96000 miles
5 months tax.
3 months mot
New discs and pads all round

Mods list.

Real walnut dash
Walnut mk1 steering wheel
Hi-Line ipk
11 spoke alloys x 5 with 2 brand new front tyres and good rears 225/40/18
DRL's with built in indicators
HID headlights
Sean ( Radioguy) DD Unit
Freeview TV Tuner
Rear camera
Large Rear seat drop down DVD screen
Marmite amber ambient lights in door pockets
Auto Boot Lift
Rear Spoiler
Electric leather ash grey piped seats. Fronts heated.
Mk2 badges changed to mk1 badges ( look better)
Air induction kit
Handbrake compensator
Plenum inspection hole
Bonnet cable splitter
Coolant level sensor
Coolant temperature display
Auto Dimming rear view mirror
LED interior lights
Chrome door mirrors
Electric sun blind
Fog lights
Fan resistor
Twin horns
VVC Inlet manifold
Powerfolds
12v Socket in Cubby Hole
Usb in rear cubby Hole
Active Sub in boot (With wiring for leisure Battery)
Illuminated Steering Controls
Polished Door Finishers
Rear Parking Sensors

Loads I've probably missed.

I bought this just a fortnight ago, and its the best 75 Ive owned, with superb MPG, and all those little important things done, and some really nice touches (incredibly well done, a credit to Steve)
It was a journey from hell to collect and a round trip of over 450 miles and a very late night.

Car is based in Hartlepool.

Obviously need a pretty quick sale, so to reflect this I'm looking for £1800

Any questions or offers, drop me a PM.

Thanks for looking.

May have a few other pics if needed.

Just bolt a glass rack on the side Graham, you won't be so "disappointed" then

Brian

A19_Graham · 18th November 2013, 22:10

Well I've gone from getting about 260 - 300 from the V6 to a Tank,

To getting 400+ with the 1.8, and I run with auto air con permanently on.

I don't dawdle neither

Brian, Ive been so tempted!!! The tourer sometimes ended up virtually a van sometimes.

Just have to wait until funds permit, and start all over again.

Well, why didn't you say so? I could've fitted a rack on the side before you bought it

GLWTS
And if anybody needs to ask me anything about it, I'll be happy to help

A19_Graham · 19th November 2013, 18:47

Steve, I'm sure you could have done. Nothing seems beyond your talents.

Also got full sized matching Spare Wheel.

Hazzard Triangle Set, full tool kit.
