For Sale - Rover 75 1.8t Saloon Classic “SVP”

dave1850 · 23rd July 2023, 19:50

It’s time to sell my 75 saloon, to be replaced by a modern family estate. This is a 2005-built (55 registered) 1.8t Classic in Platinum Gold. I’m told it’s one of the very last “SVP” models which in practice means that although it’s the entry level Classic model it is fitted with lots of higher spec Connoisseur finishing such as leather seats, various cup holders and Trafficmaster.

I’ve owned this car for 4 years and it’s my third 75. I have spent much time and money on the car to get it right and no expense has been spared. It also appears to have been well looked after before my ownership. The mileage is about 77,000 miles.

There is a large folder of paperwork and service information to come with it. MoT’d until 28 November 2023 – no advisories last time as I’d given attention to the previous year’s.

There are 3 keys – 2 with fobs and the third a fob without electronics to allow you to open the car and retrieve the main key from the boot or whatever.

In my time with the car it has had:

• New parking sensors
• Replacement clutch
• All belts, tensioners and water pump replaced in late 2020
• Replacement rear upper suspension arms
• Coil packs renewed
• Gold resistor to sort the fan
• Front coil springs replaced, track rod end and drop link
• Bonnet gas struts replaced
• New number plate lamps assembly

Everything works and no warning lights show. The air conditioning is fully functioning and it received a new compressor and re-gas earlier this year.
The 4 tyres are Uniroyal Rainsports fitted in 2022 and 2023 respectively rear and front. There’s a spare wheel in the boot.
I have had rear sections of both rear sills replaced by a professional welder. The fronts are solid.

The bodywork is good, no panel rust. All boot leaks cured. Inside, the original radio/CD is fitted and working. The headlining is good. One bad bit, the rear silencer box is starting to blow.

I am fussy about fuel – so it’s never seen E10 petrol, only E5.

The car is located in Wiltshire near Swindon, just off the M4. I’m looking for £1900 for it. If I’m offered the asking price there’s a boot-load of spare parts to accompany the sale. This includes various fixings, replacement bits, multiple service items, a headlight unit and so on.

Photos will be on their way shortly and you can PM me with a direct request for more detail.
