03 75 2.5 V6 Conny · 2nd August 2009, 16:16

I found it via google. I was browsing info on the ZT 260.

I have had 2 75s.

The 1st on was a 2.0 V6 Club V reg BRG. Got it as a company car as it stood out against all the usually silver B**s and A4s.

Wanted to keep it but the leasing company wanted too much for me to buy it.

I got my second 75 a 2.5 V6 Conn. 03 reg in Copperleaf from a now defunct garage called Four seasons in Kingston. It had been order by a gentleman who was then told he could not drive so I picked it up as the 1st owner but with a pre-reg price

.

I would only swap it for a 260

Cheers

Ian

When I found the site I thought the club had ceased to exist, there was nothing showing a recent date, the events page had dates, but these omitted the YEAR.

As a result I did not join the club at my first visit.

Would it be possible to put a 'site last updated' section that would show when the last post was lodged? This would show that the club is very much alive and ACTIVE.

The club website will be getting an overhaul in the near future.

If you saw the teams To Do list you would be wanting a lie down and a nice cup of tea.

I googled "rover 75" and there you were. :lol:

I've always liked the look of 75s (stylishly old fashioned

) and saw that I could get one in my price bracket so took the plunge. It was too big for the previous owner judging by the state of all four corners but a better one would have cost me more no doubt.

It's a W reg 2.5 and runs nice and smoothly and sounds good. It's only a Club but I'm not overly bothered about all the extras in higher spec models. I think of it as being in working man trim

. The only thing I miss is a CD player. I've had a look on ebay and thought of bidding for an auto-changer but having looked in the fuse compartment I can't find a lead to plug it into so will do without.

Anyway, I've had it a week now and am very happy with it. All being well I'll be attending the Yorkshire meeting on the 22nd of this month. All I need now is a nice flat cap to complete my image

Welcome Fred and thanks for subscribing.

Plenty of info on CD changer installations in the I.C.E forum.

Thanks for your reply.

I read up on the fitting then bid for an auto=changer (complete with lead and brackets) on ebay this evening.* When it arrives I'll give the fitting a go.

*Sorry if it was another member that I outbid.

I was searching the internet for a bonnet switch for my Rover and came upon one for sale. Westley Nuttall was the seller and he mentioned the club. The rest as they say is history and I'm looking forward to being a member.
