Year 200 Rover 75 Club 2.0 Petrol Saloon Auto at sensible price **SOLD** - Page 2

Looks like a lovely car for someone, and it's just a pity it's so far South, otherwise I'd be willing to give it a shot.
I hope people can put aside their V6 prejudices, and take on a very nice, genuine car, rather than some abused diesel for £1000 more.
All the very best with finding it a good home.

Thank you for your kind observation.
She is a lovely car and the KV6 delivers all you want, performance when needed with that lovely sound as the revs go up but whisper quiet when cruising at 70, possibly 90 but of course, I wouldn't know about that.
If I could afford to keep her and the Connie I would, but sometimes in life you can't have everything.

Anything to stop her going to the scrapyard. You'd get your money back on the wheels and tyres alone.
Thanks for your input,

Andy; form yours to Gateshead, could not even consider asking that, with fuel costs up and train ticket back... you would make nothing.

In fact you may even run at a loss.... Really though someone closer should take this on, looks like it would make a stunning project for meets alone.

£250 it's a steal.

Good Luck

Many thanks for your kind comment Stickman, if you think it's a crying shame for her to go to scrap imagine how I feel. You are not far from me so I'm tempted to drive down and get you to cry as much as me if she goes to scrap.

Just read your update; really glad the scrap man is not breaking her

I have a friend who is after a cheap run around, I will mention it to him, but if you get any other offers in the meantime, please take them.

Would have been a great replacement for my wife's Rover 600 which she regrets selling after 5 years of outstanding service.

Trouble is she likes her Renault Modus too much. Not my cup of tea but she tells me its easy to park. That is such a girly comment about a car.

I've sent you a PM.
