My Rover 75 tourer which i have had since brand new has now done 310.000 miles. still no rust.. what a car, Copperleaf red CDT tourer.

I also have a mothballed Rover 75 Conny SE tourer auto with just 69.000 miles in cimarron green one of only 17 built with sandstone interior. New Rover showroom condition.

but my copperleaf red is something else, still does not use any oil on 310.000 MILES

Default Just joined!!

My rover 75 tourer with all the toys has finally joined the Moon Club hitting 238000 miles a couple of days ago. I have owned this car for 10 years having bought it with 23k on it.

But bad news, iit sounds like the clutch is going to go as pressing pedal gives a whirring sound. Been like this for months but gradually getting louder.

Should I fix or let it go.??

I have to hold my head in shame - I'm temporarily using a BMW 330d to shuttle myself around in while the ZT-T undergoes major surgery.
However, this 330d has covered 275,000 miles! It's going to go bang at any moment though... history suggests it should have done so at around 150,000.

The ZT-T is on 190,000 and shall be part of the Moon Club next year

No longer a 75 owner as my tourer made it to the moon, and died on it's way back. But 1/4 million miles ain't bad.
