As far as we know, it has never been out of Rover ownership, It was used at Cowley and at Longbridge as a staff runaround and then at Longbridge in its latter days as an on-site Ambulance car.
The MG badges and trim were added after SAIC (MG Motors UK) took possession and had to re-brand everything, since TATA own the Rover name. Didn't check the mileage though. Andrew

Thanks guys. Now if I'm right in saying that the boot plinth was different on the pre production 75s, did anybody go and grab the pre production parts off that S reg that was scrapped on ebay a few weeks ago????

Martin, Lewis and I went to look for it on Friday after Longbridge, but it had already gone to the great fridge freezer in the sky. However we did locate another very early one, with a lot of things we can salvage. After the Bank Holiday well go back and recover them. There is also a full green leather interior going begging, steering wheel, door cards etc all in good nick.

S525 OVP to add to its famous background, was also used by Rover as a DVD press launch car so it has worked at both sites Oxford/Longbridge, used as a launch car, and police/ambulance also and never left the ownership of the Rover/MG group what history! & THE OLDEST KNOWN CHASSIS NUMBER 1196 WITH A 1998 BUILD YEAR!.

Hello Martin! Been looking at 1999 cars for quite a while as I would like a 1999 saloon to go with my 2005 tourer. Found this: Saloon BRG with Conn green leather. 2.5l V6 auto. Left hand drive. In the middle of June this year MOT: nearly 46k miles. First registered UK 1999-01-25. Chassi nr: SARRJZLLZXM001149. That would be 47 before OVP. Thinking of buying it. Wot you recon?:lol:Alan Last edited by Roverowner; 1st September 2009 at 08:50.. |

Is there any sign of wear, or do they look pretty good? Also, does the car have clean undamaged rear map pockets? Thanks in advance if you can help. it's a long way to come from Southampton, just to check the condition. Paul. |
