Rover for sale - not mine

p2roverman · 25th July 2019, 07:56

Not sure where to post this but via a friend I learned of a 75 for sale. I'm not buying it through risk of divorce but the car is certanily much too good to scrap.
It's an 04 reg SE Club tourer 1.8 Turbo with 98k miles. Apparently very good condition, no sill rust. Only issue bonnet locks stuck open. Head gasket done. Not used for a while but test run and all ok. Colour very dark blue (I didn't check the code). The car is not far from me; the owner is asking £450 but I'm sure will take less. I believe he is taking it for mot.
I do have some photos which I can post. I can pass on or deal with any enquiries.

With respect..
I can never understand comments like this.
There are folk out there who will view the car on your behalf https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...ad.php?t=63839
and a train fare from Bedford to Leeds is £30.
I live in Dorset and both of my ZTs were from"up north" and viewed by club members for me before purchase.
Cheers Ian
