Back In The Fold. Bought A New Car!

stephen421 · 21st January 2022, 15:00

Picked this up today and rejoined the 75 fold after several years out.

A late Rover 75 Contemporary CDTi Automatic in Ski Blue.

It's unbelievably clean with good history and looks to have been very well cared for in the past.

It also appears to be the car used for the Vanguards Ski Blue die-cast model as the reg of this car is on the model.

The rear Rover plinth is a little bit wobbly and it needs a registration plate bulb, but overall, very happy.

Good cars it seems are still out there. Yours has not even had an advisory in the last 4 mot's. A minor fail in 2016 but that was just a bulb. Really good mot history, you should be pleased

Looks lovely,congratulations.I have a 45 in the same colour and one of the most pleasing things is how clean looking it stays for long periods between washes.

Really looks superb and , quite frankly , more than competes with most newer cars / makes one sees around. The 75 is , to me , a timeless classic and I get even more enthusiastic seeing a car like yours. SO much more rewarding to look at than a boring , grey ordinary BMW .
Well done.

At least someone got it who will look after it. I've been offering increasing amounts for this for the last 2 days and the seller was just ignoring me completely. Even offered full price as I thought it looked stunning and he ignored that too, he was reading the messages from me.

Anyway congrats on a fantastic looking car.
