The car has the star spokes on which would usually be on the Contemporary, it should have 17 inch Serpent alloy wheels.

Intercooler hose needs changing, you can bet the cooling fan is not working, handbrake needs doing, £3,250 over priced in my opinion.

Just looking into the forum and I see that some things just do not change.

I spent 6-9 months on the lookout for a decent 75 tourer and there was nothing available that could be considered an unmolested example. Sorry - an example with various upgrades!

I would have bought this one without a doubt as the condition of the bodywork and interior were my key requirements. As it is, I purchased another tourer a few months back that I really like - a 2013 Astra 1.7tdi 131bhp Techline S/S model for similar money to this Rover.

£6k is not a lot of money for a car where the bodywork and interior are in good condition and the mechanicals are basically sound.

Well that is what I thought. Perhaps when I learn of another nice example for sale that may be of interest to someone on the forum, I'll keep my big mouth shut.

I have never seen a Tourer with 46k miles going for as little as under 3K. Times have changed and so have prices.
