I have been made aware of the existance of a sub 1k example of a 75 V8 alongside a sub 1k 1.8. Neither for sale and alongside some other illustrious company in the Norfolk area.

I would say yes this is an excellent price, I would go so far as to say it is perhaps under priced. Like is often the case with Rover 75 under priced under valued under rated by the great unwashed, these are and always were stunning, a lot of car of your money, and can still imho hold their own against most cars on the road today. Bias - quite possibly

I heard the garage it is at has several abandoned Rovers for ridiculous prices. And you have to buy the car, then pay them to restore it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Are those the correct wheels for the car?
I thought they had 7 spokes not 5. |

No they are not the right wheels, they are 17" Starspokes the V8 should have 18" Vortex alloys which as you say have more spokes.

Sorry I stand corrected......they certainly don't look right on a V8 though.

Indeed this is so, 75 V8 Connoisseurs came with diamond cut 17" Starspokes as standard. The V8 does appear to sit a little higher than the standard saloon and tourer, I mean to say, greater wheel arch clearance, temporarily I have just fitted 18" replacing the 17" hoping to see a much bigger difference Fit coil overs perhaps ??

Also, the bumpers are a slightly lighter than the rest of the car, and the N/S rear light is a replacement untinted one from a ZT that doesn't match the other side - he doesn't lift the rear well cover/hatch, either - makes me wonder if it's had a small bump at some point.
He misrepresents the (now defunct) MKIII BMW nav computer as a CD changer and IMHO that radio install is amateur at best. No powerfolds, Vortex alloys or xenons (nit picking there really) Oh, and it states one of only 135 - when there were 166 made (inc. the 16 tourers) A lovely looking example, though.
