Wanted: firefrost facelift tourer

Devilish · 25th October 2009, 19:56

I have given up on this quest, and am cosoling myself with transforming my interior. I appreciate the time people spent seeking. It was not in vain, just a page in a book, and it is only the first chapter.

I am beginning my search for a tourer. After months of deliberation I have decided upon the following, may be difficult but.....ALL are essential.

Rover 75
Facelift
Tourer
Pearl firefrost
Connoiseur SE
2.0 CDTi MANUAL
Sanstone beige and leather
Walnut interior including steering wheel
12 months MOT

Do not really want another MkI but would consider it if it fits criteria

I have been advised by Duotone that oak is standard, and walnut is optional, so may setle for oak.

Never bought a car from a dealer, may consider it but unlikely.

If anyone has the car above and may fancy a change, I would be willing to buy the car you want of simmilar value (no offers for Veyrons etc) and trading.

This would make my perfect car. A saloon that is also a tourer in my favourite colour. With smokestone oak and cloth ash, and sandstone beige leather and walnut. Perfect

Reebs, do you know if this is possible

Hi Devilish.

Found this for you:

The only thing missing off your essentials list is the wooden wheel although as we all know that can be retrofitted.

Unfortunately I have just noticed it is marked as SOLD. Oops, sorry.

(it was on Autotrader and when I went through to the dealer site for interior pictures I noticed it was sold, price was £6k)

At least you know the spec is available.

I'll keep looking

I also saw this one on Autotrader but its not SE spec.

So no, front fogs, forked alloys, heated memory seats.

It is unusual in having leather seats [Axis cloth were standard on early

Connoisseur], also the walnut dashboard was a £100 option.

You can tell its an early facelift model, its fitted with a mk1. IPK.

Hi Devilish

I have found another one, although with dark leather this time.

Looks a bit pricey though.

That one was perfect, even got the same wheels as my saloon, which I am really hoping for.

Forgot an essential, must be manual, why are so many automatic

Do not really want another MkI, but I may settle for one of each.

Hi Devilish,

Just spotted this one being traded in by a member. I know it is a Contemporary SE and Auto, but thought it worth highlighting.

Not what I am after Derek, thanks. I come so close to buying that one from Hesketh above, even though I have never liked autos, it had a towbar too.

Departed · 5th January 2010, 19:43

That Hesketh one has been in stock for a while. Considered it myself when I bought my Seafrost, and that was back in May last year. Thought it was a bit (OK a lot) steep as mine was a good few thousand cheaper and basically the same spec.
