If it has all the features as advertised it would seem to be worth the money.
However, as with all second hand cars it needs a good coat of looking at.--- |

It's not a factory duotone car, the missing four years MOT are due to it being off the road in Prof Dave's tenure of ownership, and the MOT it currently wears...........well I shall say I have my doubts, as it was driven across to my place piddling out fuel from leaking o rings on the fuel rail, fresh, as in wet underseal on the sills, and with a variety of faults that would have precluded all but the most lenient of "Stevie Wonder" tests.
ABS and traction control fault SRS DCU defective, along with both side impact sensors EWS "modified" with extra relays and wiring to allow the car to be started........in gear IPK that originated from a Mk2, wasn't coded to the car, at least until I got my hands on it So if you fancy a Starlight Silver car, with a coat of blue in places, with 150k on the clock, and an MOT not worth the paper it was written on, then this is the car for you VIN is SARRJZTLM3D273167 Vehicle Information vin RJZTLM3D273167 vin_sequence 273167 off_assembly_date Wednesday, 30th October 2002 @ 08:46:13 model 75 Tourer variant 2.5 V6 Connoisseur num_doors 5 paint_code MBB brochure_model_desc R75 C3 Tourer 2.5 KV6 (177) sales_model_derivative RJZTL sales_model_derivative_desc Rover 75 2.5 V6 Connoisseur Tourer home_export HOME country GREAT BRITAIN exterior_paint Starlight Silver interior_trim Ash / Light smokestone engine 2500 NA 177Bhp trimlevel Connoisseur bodytype 5DR manual_auto A hand_of_drive RHD model_year 2003 sold_date Unknown General Information This vehicle was the 15,438th 75 Tourer to run off the production line, out of 27,407 This vehicle was the 365th 75 Tourer 2.5 V6 Connoisseur to be made out of 456 This vehicle was the 649th 75 Tourer in Starlight Silver (code: MBB) to be made out of 4,100 Starlight Silver 75 Tourers |

I think you'll find it is Brian .....I'd need to double check the reg, but I have photos of the car sitting on the Longbridge factory used car forecourt when I visited in 2003, to see my brand new Tourer going down the production line.
Can't believe the factory would have been selling a 75, less than 12 months old, that an 'outsider' had duotoned ??? I sent the pics across to Prof Dave a few years ago, so 99.9% certain it's the same car

All of the factory duotones have a duotone paint code without exception. It is a reasonable job, but according to a Longbridge source whom I trust, none of the factory cars were painted at the factory, being outsourced to MacNeillie but they all have a paint code reflecting the fact they were non standard paint finish. What is in absolutely no doubt whatsoever, the MOT this car was issued with when it visited me, was written out without having seen the car at all. It's a shed which has been bought cheap, and bodged up for sale.......god help the poor soul who buys it Brian |

Thank the club for having people like you here Brian. Let’s hope it does not sell with that risky mot on it.

I don’t mind the colour combo. I’ve seen worse
As Brian says though, alarm bells should be ringing loud and clear, but I guess it’s price will be whatever someone throws at it. Shouldn’t be seen as anything more than a project |
