I want an immaculate 75 Connoisseur SE

Stokey66 · 16th September 2020, 20:47

Hi I’m new to 75s or Rovers in general. I’ve wanted a 75 for years but now aged 54 and with Parkinson’s my wife has finally relented ��.
What I’m after is a immaculate low owner 75. Because of the Parkinson’s it must be an automatic , any engine Petrol or diesel is OK. It can be either saloon or estates in a light metallic. I prefer the older 4 headlight version of the highest spec if possible but I don’t like the contemporary trim. Are there any dealers that specialise in the 75 still?
What should I be looking to pay I’ve been looking on auto trader and eBay and prices seem to be all over the place?
Any advice would be most appreciated
Cheers Stokey ( I now live in Lincolnshire ��)

Hello Stokey,

Also keep your eye on the classic car auctions, particularly Anglia Car Auctions at Kings Lynn where there was a very nice early 75 recently.

There seems to be an extremely high spec auto SE on the Cars for sale forum on this site offered by bsaBantam at a reasonable price

I'm surprised there haven't been a few nibbles although I have no idea how immaculate or otherwise the car is without seeing it myself in person. I'd have had a look myself if I hadn't already got one given the spec and add ons advertised.

I have seen this car and it is excellent.

Thanks for the advice. How do I thank people for their replies as I can’t find how to do it on this forum��
