OK, 2001 Y reg but 1999 built, believed Japanese spec, per Terry Smith,
2.5 V6 Auto, Connie with Aubergine personal line, 90k miles. HK Audio,
rear blind, powerfolds, cruise, traction, sunroof, folding rear sets, memory drivers seat, etc etc, seems all it lacks is driver pack, i.e. computer/rain sensor/reverse sensors. also no Sat Nav but I wouldnt want one. Regards.

I have exactly the same. Will put some photos up when get the camera sorted. But 2001 Y reg, 45000 miles 2 owners from new. Great shape. As standard, all options other than sat nav, computer stalk & rain sensitive wipers.

Will possible leave as is but have a wooden wheel I might re-leather in Aubergine and I am in the process of buying a Walnut & aubergine auto gear lever I will put on.

I love the Aubergine Interior though it's how I imagine the inside of a beetroot looks. Very much a personal choice and not to everyones taste. There's not many pics of the green one either.

Every member that post's up details of there Dorchester red 75 I'll send an original Rover aerosol paint, just PM me your details!!

Hi Tam,
I had a W-registration Dorchester Red 75 Club 2.0 V6 with grey velour upholstery (some were beige) which I had from new and part exchanged for a new green CDTI Tourer in 2002. I have no idea what happened to it and as I had a personal registration so I have no way to trace it.
However, at the same time a neighbour also had a Dorchester Red 75 Club (V-registration). I don't know the spec but he still owns it so I will try to find out in case he is not a member.

By the way Dorchester Red if the best colour they ever did so I envy you now!
