I don't think anyone would want my 75's, they're too naughty, but I have a MK2 Cavalier that my late father taught me to drive in, and I would not sell it at any price. It's like a part of my family - the only part I have left now. I've owned it since May 1990.

I have had previous cars which I have loved and cherished are the following
Triumph dolomite and a half
Jeep grand Cherokee 4l
Ford Econoline 5l V8 but the more I drive my rover 75 CDT tourer it just gets better and better it's almost addictive it does everything so very well and has all of the above cars attributes but more
It has comfort and toys of the jeep
It has the style of a classic ie the triumph
And the engine of the ford without the horrendous economy this is by far one of the best cars I've ever owned u might not agree with my list but the 75 is a great car woefully undervalued

Deeerrr

Totally misunderstood that one It's an age thing..!!!!

Yes that is my long term plan Got a Saab 93 Vert auto as a stop gap until I get up enough guts to sell "The Pretty One"

Although it may take some time finding one (Mk1 Top Spec Diesel Auto in a good Monogram Colour).

Sorry for being a dunce (off to the stupid corner wearing pointy hat)

Had my 75 for 12 years at times it does my head in over silly things particularly when you have taken ages fixing things only for it to go wrong again at these times I curse and say I'll get rid lasts about a minute before I say I just love this car. Also my eldest son has told me no way do you get rid of that car it's mine when us gone. How do you put a price on that?
