Bought at 48 and now I’m 53.
I’ve been buying BL cars since I was 17. Austin 1100 cost me £35.

Old man's car? It's just another form of badge snobbery that I detest.

Well theres no badges on mine anywhere on the outside,so it kees some people guessing what it is anyway😄

I’m probably the youngest rover 75 owner of being 16 but getting my first 75 at 14
My first Rover 75 what I got at 14

My second Rover 75 what I got at 15

My third Rover 75 what I got at 16 and I’m keeping for the rest of my life

But my first ever Rover was a 1987 Rover Mini what I bought when I was 9 years old and is sat next to the Capri there not old man cars there amazing cars and are definitely A Class Of It’s Own

Similarly, Rover2003 on the forum also has a 75 that he'll hopefully be driving when he gets his license.

Probably and can’t wait 😊

I don’t understand why the 75 is classed as a old mans car yes it got chrome and wooden dash I personally like the classy look of the car reminds me of the p4 and p6
