Default Rover 75's Walk Round by Tom Mitchell.

These are Glen's cars that Tom is doing the walk round on, well worth a view, i doubt you will see as many white Rovers together.

All are being sold another reason to have a gander in if you are in the market for a Rover 75.

Tom is great young man whom is really into the Rover MGZT marquee, listen to how enthusiastic he is and owns one himself.

Man if I had the means again I'd buy Bones back quicker than you could say K-series.

Very enjoyable video, well done to Tom. Is he a member of the Club, if not he should be

At one point I did think he might lock the V8 key in the boot when it dropped under the spare wheel

Who is Glenn too Steve? Maybe these are folk who frequent the other forums or Facebook.

I’ve watched Tom’s other videos on his 75 too, he’s clearly bitten by the Rover bug. I just wish they had given a close up of the rear embossed headrests, I’ve never seen one nor even knew they existed? Fronts yes, but rears Every day’s a school day

Hi Paul.
Yes both are members i think, the rear head rest are in fact front one i think but put into the rear, like you i don't think embossed ones exist.

Glen is a regular at the Nano meets, and Tom will be or should be after talking to him when i was there on the day he did the walk round, as i was sorting out his 75 for him while he was doing the filming.

Sorry just seen earlier post about rear head rests just seen earlier post about head rests watched it twice, yes I know I need to get a life, but I was fascinated to see looking closely every car seemed to have sagging front door cards. I did not like the narrator's narrative, totally unnecessary to use vulgar language.
I would love to know where the embossed rear head rests came from.
Anyway was good to see these cars and just hope they get good homes.

Do you mean on the first car David, the ZT, where the presenter lowers the bonnet gently so that the striker rests upon the latch then, in a separate movement, presses the top of the bonnet so that the latch engages with a satisfying and undramatic click?
