Rover 75 MGZT wanted
 
Out of nowhere I want one. I don't do many miles as I cycle or use a m/bike to commute so maybe 5k a year tops therefore mpg is not important to me and thus...I want a diesel or 2.5V6 with as high a spec as possible.

I'd like a mk1, mot'd with a good service history and low owners. I'm not interested in a project or something that needs work, I don't have the knowledge, skills or time. On the other hand, I am not looking to pay £500 either.....I could be pursuaded by a facelift MGZT.

There was one recently here that I liked but it is 200 miles away, I live near LBA airport and work in a hospital so right now it's got to be sub 100 miles away.


Many thanks.

Don't give up on one yet, take your time and you should get a good one, I bought my 75 conny se in feb 06 and still have it,

then in 2016 mid life crisis kicked in and I "invested" in a ZT 190, I knew what to look for, was lucky and the seller could not afford to insure it so I got what I would consider "a bargain" since then I have driven round Europe in it (the 190) in 2018 the went to a car meet in Holland last year, looks like another Holland weekend next year and on the back burner is a jolly to Norway up to the Arctic circle.
you can get a LOT of car for your money :D

Hi Phil and others...........to clear my inbox for Phil I deleted messages from other members and now I can't remember who I was talking to, I am really sorry for not replying.


However, things moved on a bit, I promised to give my Focus to a young kid at work at the end of June so I got into a bit of a rush, I've been using a 1992 MX5 for the last few days and it's not practical. So Sunday night I bought a car on Ebay to give me transport whilst I search for a 75.


Bob's your uncle, a 2 owner 03 Mk1 diesel (new clutch) in Leeds pops up on Gumtree Monday afternoon! Bummer, I've decided to take the advice of maxi_crawf and now relax, take my time and get what I want as I was begining to "nearly" buy cars I didn't really want. And, as I do have long trips Euro trips in mind I've narrowed it down to a Mk1 diesel, automatic preferably or one with a recent (ish) clutch change.


Think I'll go look at the Leeds car anyway..............:}

I had seen that as it is local, but being a local I know what that dealer is, not a car dealer that's for sure. People travel from all over the UK to be ripped off and abused and it's gone on for years. Check out any reviews.

Get in touch with Trikey on here he has got a 2.5 for sale

Reading your post earlier, I went and had a look at Mk2 ZT contemporary in what I think is in Trophy Blue for sale at Longfield Rd Motors in Darlington.
A diesel on 127k it is on sale for 2k.
In all honesty, it doesn't look as if it has been a cared for example. The near side rear corner bumper has been blown over in a not very well done repair, the car looks quite tired.
Not in any way worth 2k.

Trikeys is a much better idea. Chalk and Cheese really.
