Afternoon everyone,

I've come to the difficult decision to sell our 75, I'd rather it went to someone on the forums so it gets a good home! It's a lovely car, the interiors on these are so much nicer than anything modern!

Car is located in Stevenage.

A few details:

Rover 75 Contemporary SE
1.8T Petrol
Manual
MOT until 20 May 2020
Mileage currently 132510 but I am using the vehicle still - it won't increase much
Dash readout shows service required in 10,000 miles - I last serviced it in the summer
Black
Full leather Sports seats
Alcantara inserts on door cards
Dark "wood" dash
Electric passenger front seat
Electric memory drivers seat (panel is a bit loose)
Heated front seats
Electric windows
Electric and heated mirrors
Dual zone climate control

Work done:

New turbo about 5 years ago
Head gasket done about 4 years ago - changed whilst it was weeping and before overheating
PRT changed early last year I think as it had stuck closed
New headlamps last year as the old ones had fogged over
New condensor for air con
New upgraded resistor for fan
New exhaust a few years ago - genuine Rover backbox, literally the last one I could find for sale in the country
New lower arm bushes and ARB drop links in the last couple of years
Good tyres all round

Faults:

Rear windscreen leaks
Passenger side door actuator not working - I actually replaced this today with a second hand item that worked for about 5 activations and then failed
Parking sensors working intermittently so they are currently unplugged as the noise was truly irritating
CD multichanger doesn't work, but the radio is a CD player as well

The radio currently fitted doesn't come with the car for the advertised price - I'll refit the standard Rover radio/CD player. If you are interesting in the radio, I'll leave it in for an additional £300 - its JVC double din unit with AM/FM/DAB, Apple Carplay and Android Auto - I've been really impressed with it!

I'm looking around around £850 for the car.

Please PM me if you have any questions, or want some more photos etc.
