My 75 2.0V6 Club SE with LPG

FrazzleTC · 4th November 2011, 23:30

I bought my 75 in late September, and I've already covered 1500 miles in it. I'll try to update this thread with anything that gets done or has been done to the car. Since buying the car, I've changed the driver's door seal, as the original one was slightly torn. I've cleaned the car fairly thoroughly, I've had the handbrake adjusted, and so far, at least, it seems to be a lot more effective. I enjoy driving it, and it's very comfortable, though some people seem surprised at a 20 year old choosing to buy a 75.

Here are a few photos of the car.

I just read your post, thought 'Oh, another young chap with a 75' - then I saw the photos and thought 'Oh, it's you!'

Looking good, mate! Though, I would say that!

Both cars look superb

P6 very nice.The 75 in my opinion was rover getting back to glory days of the P6 for quality and comfort.Love the colour of the 75 very stately

Lovely car mate, how do you find insurance at 20?

FrazzleTC · 6th November 2011, 07:49

Insurance for the P6 is an awful lot more than for the 75, surprisingly. The P6 is £1250 a year TPFT, but the 75 is £780 a year, fully comp!

Since the last update, I've taken the car to the Loch Lomond meet, where I had a chance to meet up with quite a few members from here. I had the car serviced at the start of December consisting of an oil and filter change, and new plugs. I've covered about 5000 miles in it since I bought it. I've also bought a set of original Ash grey mats, which I'll fit shortly.

On Monday, I took the 75 to visit some friends in Lancashire, covering 400 miles in the process. We went for a run over some of the roads around Hawes, and the car behaved very well in adverse conditions. Despite awful weather on the motorway, the car never felt anything other than planted, and it made for a relaxing journey. I was going to take the P6, but because of the weather, I thought it was more sensible to take the 75 this time. Here are a couple of photos of my car, and my friends' cars.

Tell me about it! I've had all sorts of comments, often very good about the car but an odd choice for a 25 year old, apparently! What do they know

That is one clean looking 75 and your P6s look good too
