If the Caddy is as reliable as my stepson's one Bri, you will be kept well busy maintaining it. Looked tidy when he bought it from the dealer with less than 100k on the clock, but so far it has needed a starter motor, alternator, all 4 injectors and various suspension bits. His old Tranny was more reliable. |

All the above is very encouraging ! I think we need to get a few more off the road yet as sale prices are still very low

In London, the majority of brand new medium size cars are SUV's. Saloon cars are a dying breed, which is why Jaguar are phasing them out.

I have to agree they are getting thin on the ground nowadays. The one's i see, i usually get a wave from the driver. A sure sign that whats left are now owned by enthusiasts. Rover 45/25 are also getting rare. Ebay used to yield many, but not anymore..

Well done for taking such good care of her. Incidentally, what is a reasonable life for a V6 if well maintained anyone? I think well maintained V8's are good for 250000, but few get that far with UK petrol prices |

There are a few V6 cars that have done 150-180k afraid they are the exception though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For me sometimes it’s the stories behind the cars that are just as important as the cars themselves and the friendships we have made, the memories will always be with us no matter what.
Mick[/QUOTE] Well said Mick,my sentiments entirely,long lasting Friendships over the many years of ownership that have been & are still being formed & memories that will last a lifetime,is surely testiment & credit to the marque which initially brought us all together, whether it be Rover or MG. Credit must also be paid for these Friendships & with it the dedication toward the upkeep that many have put into these cars over the years through being associated with the many clubs like The Rover 75 & MG ZT Owners Club,incidentally this one I been a member of since the clubs inception,which have been formed thus enabling many likewise enthusiasts to hopefully keep these fine vehicles running obviously not as daily drivers,but to hopefully attend club events & the many rallies & shows that will hopefully prevail for many,many years to come. Regards.....John.
