At the time they never had heard about the brand but they liked it so much they bought it through borusan autos. they bought it on 25th of Febuary, 2000. The car was Dorchester red and had the Beige (sdf) interior. it was a 2.0 litre v6 Connoiseur model. Mainly my dad drove the car, but after my birth (1st of october, 2001) he gave the car to my mom. Through out the years they spent astronomic numbers on repair costs due the rover group dying and had to source the parts from a mechanic, but they never wanted to sold the car. now here i am, 2-3 weeks away from getting my driving license to finally drive the car. Ever since i first saw the car (the earliest memory that i can remember) i loved the car soo much, and i still love it. Im planning to go to UK next summer with the car. VIN of the car is 124685. Can we know which car was to be produced (like was it the 101st,250 etc...). Also the car currently has around 250xxx kilometers. And it drinks fuel. (around 15-16 litre per 100 kilometers.)

Thank you for sharing the history of your lovely 75. I still think Dorchester red was the best colour. I had a Dorchester red 2.0 V6 new in 2000 but mine had the grey upholstery and was only a Club version. You have kept yours in beautiful condition.
