Lightbulb Rover 75 1.8T Connoisseur ***SOLD***

Rover 75 Connoisseur 1.8T Saloon, Manual
It's in very good condition, with 86,000 on the clock. Had a new engine in 2017, but has been sound as a pound since. I've also fitted an allow inlet manifold and stainless steel t-piece to ensure it's as good as it can be.
It has also been remapped by kmaps, which has completely transformed the car. It pulls like a train, is extremely quick for the size car it is and still regularly returns 30 mpg.

Good points...
- Brand new IPK screen has just been fitted by Rick-Sta and looks great (it was fitted about 2 weeks ago!)
- Replaced front track rod ends, droplinks and lower arm bushes at the last MOT.
- New Avon tires at the front fitted last September, which has less than 4,000 miles on them.
Other things done over the last few years of ownership:
- new original pattern exhaust back-box
- tow bar and electrics
- electric memory heated leather seats
- real wood dash fitted
- new master and slave clutch cylinders
- new engine fitted in 2017 with 10,000 trouble free miles travelled since
- DRLs fitted in the front bumper
- Battery backup sounder and headlight washers fitted
- Front fog lights fitted
- stainless steel handbrake compensator fitted
- gold resistor fitted
- 82 degree prt thermostat fitted

Mechanically, the car is as good as I can make it and has wanted for nothing. The bodywork is good for the age, but does have the odd blemish from it's last 15 years and 85,000 miles of usage however it’s certainly way above average.

Bad points
In truth, there are only 3 bad points to this car:
- the rear sun-blind has stopped working. I've never had a reason to use it, so haven't bothered to fix it yet
- The passenger side rear door actuator is on its way out and sometimes needs two presses of the key to unlock.
- It used to have an eezee coolant temperature gauge fitted, but this stopped working in the heat last year. The display is still fitted to keep the hole filled, but it doesn't work.

£1,200 ono
The car currently has an octocore android head unit installed which may be swapped for a standard stereo if sold for less than the asking price.
