2001 Dorchester Red Rover 75 2.5 V6 automatic ***NOW SOLD***
Price now reduced to £1500 from £1800
I'm looking to sell my 2001 Dorchester Red Rover 75 2.5 V6 automatic. This is the rare Cowley-built Japanese spec which were made in '99 for export to Japan and those not sold registered in the UK in '01 and sold (not sure if it made the trip Japan and back, or just never left). I'm looking for £1500 or the best offer very close to that. The spec is very high: Full Cowley build spec (e.g: torpedo badges, boot badge, black sills, etc) Dorchester Red Exterior Aubergine Leather interior Powerfold Mirrors Cruise Control Sunroof Traction Control Electric Rear sun blind Harmon Kardon Speaker system including parcel shelf sub woofer Heated & electrically adjustable seats Twin front cup holders! Rear Parking Sensors Meteor wheels with 4 good Nexen tyres with plenty of tread Update: Now with Oil and Filter change (5/4/19) and fresh MOT to May 1st 2020 Whilst the mileage is high at 113000 it runs, sounds and drives as smooth as silk and is credit to the previous owner. Since I bought it in July 2018 the only thing I've needed to change is the audio. I've replaced the old radioguy unit with a Sony XAV-AX100 Andoid Auto compatible unit. Much better sounding and really drives the HK speakers well. Full dealer stamps in service book from new to 2013 (up to 109k miles), although missing 2011 for some reason. All work since then done by the previous owner to me. Timing belts, tensioner, idler pulley & water pump all renewed October 2015, at circa 106k miles. Will therefore need doing in October 2020 for reasons of age rather than miles. Paintwork is excellent, no major dings or chips. No leaks from the sunroof over the winter, but a slight drip from the boot seal on the passenger side. Nothing major, and no leaks from the rear window seal or the rear lights. Bad points: Worm gear is on it's way out on the driver side mirror and takes some persuasion to operate some days. Rear parking sensors sometimes randomly just give a continous tone, which I think is fairly common Work done by the previous owner: New alternator January 2014. New aubergine steering wheel January 2014. Starter repair kit March 2014. New camshaft sensor March 2014. New brake pads and discs March 2015. COMPLETE auto box fluid change June 2015. Timing belts,tensioner, idler pulley,water pump,temperature sender and thermostat all renewed October 2015. New crankcase breather hose October 2015. 6 NGK spark plugs fitted October 2015. New Lamda sensor fitted March 2017. 30mm lowering springs fitted September 2017. New "Jules" air con resistor fitted September 2017. New exhaust front section with catalytic converter fitted February 2018. New exhaust centre section and back box fitted May 2018. MOT info: 8 March 2012 96,421 miles 13 March 2013 102,948 miles 8 April 2014 104,204 miles 9 March 2015 105,951 miles 25 April 2016 106,554 miles 28 March 2017 107,290 miles 2 May 2018 107,821 miles As you can see it's not done many miles since some major works. It's a lovely car but I've just taken a new company car job, and don't have room to keep both. Located in Belper, Derbyshire
