I can reveal it now at last. Yes this is my barn find rover 75. It's a 1.8 auto, none turbo. A rare combination to have survived this long in Northern Ireland. And yes it's connoisseur specification. And at 168000 miles I'm sure it's had a head gasket or two!
Interesting car, first registered in February 2001, its obviously preproject drive but it feels very well put together even all these years on.
Parked up in a garage around April 2013 until a few months ago when I spied it in his yard only a few miles from my house. As like many projects never made it back on the road.
Well it's here with me now, and whilst I've other stuff to sort, this hopefully will be going for its first mot test after POL 2020.
Belts, water pump, coolant flush, fresh discs and pads along with very minor jobs should see if sorted. And maybe a ecu as it looks like it's had a soaking badly.
It will make for a nice back up car.
