I bought W975 RCY, A gold Rover 75 manual cdt saloon with cream leather upholstery two weeks ago. I still thrill when I look at it, it is a car of immense beuty, and on a practical note has already retuned 500 trouble free miles at 50mpg. I hope you enjoy your car as much as I am enjoying mine, they say you dont get nowt for nowt but the Rover 75 seems to defy all logic, a Rolls Royce at minimum cost.

Long time ago, but that was my 75, hope you've still got it?

Hi, i'm in Hastings, so fairly local, mines also copperleaf red, and an CDTi,
they are great cars, just keep an eye out for corrosion and treat it as soon as it appears, and as others will tell you rod out the sunroof drains and plenums. and check them regularly engines, I'm assuming yours is diesel, like mine, are bullet proof. just ensure you keep on top of oil changes, etc, Parts are not too bad, some obviously are getting rare, but there are very good people on here you can steer you in the right direction
