Rover 75 Connoisseur SE 2005 Blue 1.8 Manual

[bluejohn75]

For Sale


Spectacular Rover 75 Connoisseur SE 1.8 Manual for sale, this was my father's car which I fettled and ran a couple of years ago but now need to find a good home for.

As stated it is the underappreciated 1.8 normally aspirated 120HP K Series 4 cylinder with the 5 speed manual gearbox, this gives an engaging drive with relatively short gearing and that lovely revvy engine, plus reasonable running costs.

The head gasket was done about 5 years ago and the engine has been thoroughly flushed out. I have just had the Aircon / Climate control redone with new condenser and fan resistor. All service items recently done including new (Lucas) engine oil and MGR filter. New windscreen fitted.
