OK, if YOU were a Rover 75 or MG ZT, how would your advert read?

Here is mine...........

Made June 1962 and registered 05/03/63

Body work ok for age, flip colour, changes from White to Red in sun, roof faded so resprayed. Both roof and bodywork have been regualy washed.
Engine can struggle under heavy load, but does not consume to much fuel.
Some non origional bits fitted. Some parts are missing.

Did have a problem of blowing a fuse when younger but this seems to be better now (however can still happen around teenage lads)

Auxillary lenses have been fitted, can easily be removed but tends to cause it to bump into things.

Reliable, starts first time.

Built in 1949..................scrapped

Seeing as I was born in 1976, I'm not even old enough to be tax exempt!

Bit of rust round the edges, trim in tatty condition, but a possible restoration project for an enthusiast. Failing that, maybe worth a couple of quid at the scrappy!

A Future classic!

Built in 1993 one careful owner never raced or rallied
Good potential. Offers

aged bodywork in need of attention so sold as seen with no m.o.t or warranty, lights not as bright as they used to be, does not appear to move as quickly as I remember it used to.

some parts of it have not been used for ages

although the upholstery is pretty good.

No blockages in the plenums but definately in need of a service.

For sale, 1983 'Y reg'
Uses a lot of coolant at times,

Upholstry starting to become threadbare, a good runner and does everything its supposed to, current lady owner hasn't looked after as well as perhaps this future classic should be.

Could do with a service. Offers...
