Very early 75 - Page 2

lady zed · 21st August 2017, 21:17

but would you really want to buy a car from someone called sealed deal mark

victorgte · 21st August 2017, 22:02

I doubt it's HGF. I'm sure those who are interested in the car know what I'm thinking.
Only my poor health is holding me back from bidding. Good luck everyone.

A rare Rover 75, given there aren't that many Rover 75s left with the JOP number plate. I would argue that this is a launch car. In the pre-launch, the reversing sensors were all black and had the S reg pre-fix. This one has sensors colour coded to the body, not seen in the pre-launch models. The fact the hazard switch has a black collar, is not conclusive and could be bought for £5 to blend in with the seats. The pre-launch models were built in 1998, not 1999. For who ever buy this car, it will be spend, spend, spend

I think your in a unique position Andy and I say this without wishing to offend anyone else in this thread, unique because you have the skills and technical abilities to carry any repairs currently needed on JOP.

Once those repairs have been achieved, it's just maintenance/servicing, replacing parts as and when they wear out. But being a resourceful chap and having those abilities, you wouldn't have to fork so much, hopefully

You could be lucky and have a good runner

Forgive me if i'm wrong but were the rear seat backs one piece rather than having the seperate side bolsters in the early cars?

mininuts · 27th August 2017, 19:35

Is the JOP number plate a Longbridge registration? Only ask because the last Mini out of Longbridge wears X411 JOP and went straight to Gaydon after it had done its press duties.

Lovely early 75 though
