Well that's good & bad news all in one

someone is getting a superb example there though, very well cared for & in stunning condition but I'm sure you'll soon have the Tourer the way you want it

Thats good and bad news for you then I suppose. It just goes to show people still do want these ''worthless old Rover's''

PS Make sure the new owner joins the club so you can keep an eye on her

I know which is the better car.

I'm sorry to hear it's gone mate, but at least now you have extra money to spend on the tourer!!

A strange encounter for sure, the chap pulled up in a X type jag, had a look around the car. His wife came up to me and says "Wow this is really nice, can I get in it, a spring broke on our old 75 you know". You should have seen her face. "It's like a new car, it's got a cd player, how do you work the heating". She did not get back out of it, just sat there with a big smile on her face. The chap said he sold his 75 and bought a Jag, and his wife has not stopped complaining since. She loves the Rover 75, he loves his Jag, so he has had to buy the 75 for her

UNBELIEVABLE.

I asked her if she wanted to do a husband swap, then she could have the saloon for free, and get the use of a tourer.

Here I am selling it because SWMBO does not want it, to someone whose SWMBO has been nagging him to death to buy her another. It is not fair.

She fell in love with it so I am happy, well sort of.

very pleased for you, I thought you had no chance of getting the money you were looking for due to the mileage, glad i've been proved wrong- realistically though how long do you think it will last? I mean 145,000 miles...
