Well my son went and bought a Rover 75 tonight, I am truly surprised!

Anyway, it's a 2000 (W) Classic 2.5 Auto with 77000 miles, 2 previous owners, Belts done at 66000. Full service history up 'till 74000 two small scratches on the bumpers that will polish out I reckon. Only 2 niggles and they are at speed the 'Door Open' light comes on and the 'AirBag' light stays on. Otherwise all else ok.....

Price....... £700.00 with 9 months MOT and 5 months Tax to boot!

He's well-chuffed.....

A few pics....

Hopefully it will serve him well......

Cheers, Bill.

Just replied on the Hpi check thread.....

I was keeping an eye on that one on e bay... My mate was looking for a cheap car.... Was just getting ready to bid and it ended.... Was at £627.00 with around 50 mins to go... Looks like he brought it just in time!!! lol

Looks like a nice car.....

And I guess you know there are cheap [actually probably free] fixes for both problems. Lucky lad

Brabus · 21st September 2011, 21:10

Excellent looks very nice.Lets his modding begin

MangoMan · 21st September 2011, 21:16

Sorry about that Pete.... Just in the nick of time!

Dave, I think the Airbag kight problem is under the seat, is it not? And the 'Door Open' is actuallt the Bonnet??

Any advice appreciated......

And Neale, I'm already thinking what I can do!!! lol. Wheels, Smiley Plate, Chrome Mirrors, Harmony out!...... The list goes on.....

Thanks for the comments...

Cheers, Bill.

Looks very tidy for what he paid - and Classic spec, I've only seen a handful, quite rare even down to the steel wheels (not that the rare poverty spec adds value, of course not, just geek points!).
