Does anyone here buy 75's for parts?

my own much loved, but tired car is coming towards the end and it deserves better than a trip to the crusher or the banger circuit.

i would much rather see it go to help keep other 75s on the road. where they belong!

it is a 2001 Rover 75 CDTi tourer, with 221.000 miles on the clock, and is mot'd until August next year.

the good parts, its got a spotless Neptune blue leather interior, is sat on meteor wheels and has had the 160bhp remap done, its also got a full service history and in the last year or so its had a new alternator and thermostat block fitted. prior to that its had a full exhaust system and Andy Willi put a clutch and flywheel in it around 50,000 miles ago. also been an early car its got a real wood dash, lots of cup holders and the factory CD autochanger in the glove box!

the not so good, well the reversing sensors and the A/C are both not working, and its tired bodily and the ends of the sills are getting crispy. as such it will need some welding and other parts as a minimum for next years test.

as such the car is maybe more a parts car rather than an project vehicle, and given all that i do not want much for it!

is there anyone here who would be interested in it?
