Looking at the 2nd photo - very high!

Must say though it's wearing the 96000 miles very well

Looks normal for a Rover 75 V8.





Mine when I had one looked the same.

Surely on a 56 plate it isn't a 2005 car? Either a late 06 or early 07

They went bust and stopped making them in '05 though
The car will just be a late registration.

This car is just down the road for me, I popped and had a look around the outside the other day, it is in pretty good condition although there is a small scuff on the rear bumper and the chrome grill surround has obviously separated from the bumper at some point and been repaired with some black putty

This is not fair! Why do they always bring in the Audi comparison Otherwise, nice car, nice price too Shame it hasn't got cream leather

And the tyres aren't oversized either, they're just standard starspokes?

The last line of the advert 'without the premium of the MG badge'....

Where has this guy come from? Premium for an MG badge ?

These cars are twice as rare as MG's.

I thought that too, insulting the pedigree and kudos of the Rover name. If I had lived nearer I would have told him so!

Some of us are not blinkered by the sight of an octagon badge.

At least some people are aware of the superiority of the Octagon Badge though.
