Five years ownership today!

Speedblock · 28th February 2018, 18:55

Time flyes - Five years ago today I became the lucky owner of this lovely Rover 75. I bought it from my local carclub friend and the late well known member here Dr.Alan Cranston alias Roverowner in Sweden. This very special car has given me lots of nice driving over the years, and membership in this nice club. Has given me a recesess in to the history world of Rover 75. Old but fresh S909XDA now having a deep winternap

...deep snow outside and freezing winds...but hopefully on the road again in spring 3-4 weeks from now. Best Regards Christian alias Speedblock

Two photos shows my car in summer 2017 and the third 10 years earlier in U.K just before the export to Sweden.

Exactly ten years ago today, this vehicle became mine! I bought this Pre Production chassie no.M001149 from the late clubmember Dr. Alan Cranston aka "Roverowner" here in Sweden. Manufactured nov.12, 1998, one of the democars (S909XDA) in Seville Spain in january 1999, returned from Spain to Hartwells West Bromwich in U.K in 2003, sold to a U.k.lady with a summerhouse in France, and exported to Sweden in 2007. The clock showed 55.000 miles in 2013 and today 71.500 miles. New cambelts, plugs, waterpump, full service in october 2022 just before the winterstorage. Fully prepared for the coming season 2023. Just waiting for the spring to enter here!

Hello very interested to see this, is it Raven Black? It looks the same as my 2002 one, even has the same serpent wheels.
Best regards.
