Dorchester and Aubergine 75

This looks like a nice car for someone. Definitely work to be done, but could be relatively cheap. Shame it's been keyed, and obviously the 'mechanical' part of the damage mentioned would need investigated. Might well be absolutely fine.

Good project, and pretty sure it's a Japanese spec one!

Yep the crowns with the dimples are a dead give away for Japanese spec 75.

Stubs

One of the most stunning combinations that colour and interior.

Nice project for some brave soul?

I'd say they only mentioned mechanical to cover their backs, as it's running in the photo with no eml or oil lights.

If it was Japanese spec then surely the speedo would be in kilometres and not miles.

Rover converted back various items like speedo and Radio for UK Market.

Why would anyone key a lovely old car like that?
