Tempted by a Rover 75 V8, whats the going rate and how is the spares availability for bits unique to the V8?

Lovely car and you won't be disappointed. Spares are generally good, and no worse then the FWD cars.

pop over to 260's for more info.

Just dont prang it ! The front bumpers you can get a hold of but the chrome insert is impossible !

Could be your lucky day

I have a Silver Rover 75 V8 Conn SE with Sunshine Pack (sun roof, rear blind etc.) which I have been thinking of selling for three months.

2005 '05 plate 21k miles excellent condition, Tax Jan 2011 Mot March 2011. PM for more info if interested. I live in Bracknell looking for around £8250. I am not putting it up on general sale until August.

Can send you pics in week but best to see it in flesh as pics show it pristine the way pics do.

That's been for sale as long as I can remember, had been priced at £9990 but recently dropped by £1K - even so I think it should still come down in price a bit.

Have had mine for 2 years. No problem with parts, although have not needed much. Now covered 50,000 miles. Great fun to drive. Not quite as grunty as the ZT260 due to different set-up, but close. I'm told the MG is a bit harsher as well. Mine's a Contemporary SE.

They are a rare and beautiful motor, and there will never be any more! I'd say go for it!
