2004 Rover 75 CDTi Contemporary SE

NOW SOLD

After my heart attack last Wednesday, I have finally decided to move on from the MGR clan.

Below is the original posting that I did in June 2102 when I brought the car from Tam Leek, who sadly is not longer with us.

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=116653

When I brought the car it had done 110k I am now up to 127k.

MOT'd until June 2014
Taxed until August 2104
The Clutch was replaced @124k by Andy Willi (on the forum)
Rear Exhaust was replaced @ 122k
Battery was replaced in September 2013
160 Remap carried out by BigRuss on March 2013

Standard Options are as per Contemporary SE spec with Sunroof.

The car does not have any history in the book when I got the car, but knowing Tam, it would have been serviced on a regular basis.

I have given the car a full service every 7500 miles and the engine runs as sweet as the day I brought her.

The car currently has Sean's RadioGuy's Android head unit, fitting with reverse camera, DVB-T (freeview) and the DVR (Dash Cam) and Sean's MG7 Lights.

I am looking for £2000 for a quick sale with everything still fitted or if you don't want the head unit and rear lights then you can get a still of a buy for £1500.

I will not be able to drive the car for the next month due to the heart attack, so the car is available for collection straight away.

I have put different wheels on the car as the meteors that come on the car were badly corroded, the tyres are all good with plenty of mileage let in them.

I am located near Crystal Palace, South East London.
I am sorry to say that the car will not be available for sale now until the end of this month or the 1st week March, as I am not allowed to drive, I can not get a replacement car until then.

Also forgot to add it also has the Rover mk2 logo door card floor lights fitted along with auto boot mod and FBH (fuel burning heater) which is working 100%…

Some pictures that I have just taken, bearing in mind it was pouring down!!

The private plate will be transferred once the car has been sold.

Thanks Andy,

I hopefully will make a full recovery, I just feel that I need a change of car now, I have had a 75 in different formats for the last 9 years and just fancy a change.

I have wanted a XF Jaguar or a 300C Chrysler for a couple of years now, and I have found out that life is just too short, if you want something just go and get or do it, you never know when your last day is, so go enjoy yourself whilst you can.

Sorry you are selling but what an excellent car. I don't think I could bring myself to buy another Rover/ZT from anyone except a member. Good luck with the sale, I'm sure it won't be around long.
