2001 Wedgwood Rover 75 CDT 160bhp. Mechanically perfect. £1750 **SOLD**

[Ross R75]

Well gents, I'm going to be away a lot next year and there's no point in me having 3 cars sitting on the drive. With a heavy heart, Rosie is up for sale and somebody is going to be a VERY lucky owner of what is probably the most mechanically sound Rover 75 diesel that you'll ever see for sale.

For those of you who don't know the car, my build thread is here: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=147181

She has covered 105000 miles from new with full history and I've spent over £3000 in the last 8 months getting her mechanical bits absolutely perfect. I'm confident that regardless of mileage, age or price, you won't get a better 75 or ZT for sale today or any time soon.

Price is £1750 TO MEMBERS ONLY. I'm not in any rush to sell, and no offers below the asking price will be accepted. As I said, I've spent £3000+ this year alone, I think the asking price is an absolute gift.

The car is taxed until 31 January 2014. After that, tax will be available at the buyer's expense. The car has MOT with no advisories until the end of June 2014.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

That is absolutely beautiful! I wish I could make it mine!

Good luck with the sale - that is going to make its next owner very happy.

What a great shame that you are selling the car, but totally understand especially the job you do, makes it difficult to have stability, and I fully understand the circumstances, and must agree that this is a fantastic car which you have spent a lot of time, effort and money on, and whoever does purchase the car will get a cracker

Good luck with the sale, and hope to catch up with you in the future, and most importantly keep your head down

Have £2K burning a hole in my pocket, but must pay for my caravan this week........ or else I would own this.

I Hope this does not get sold onto someone just to make a profit, as it's just one of the the best

I'll make sure that doesn't happen David. I'm not in a massive rush to sell and she'll only be going to a club member in good standing who will look after her properly. A couple of little cosmetic bits to touch up and she'll be a very special car. There are a few members interested at the moment.
