Rare early Rover 75 mk1 Tourer

I went past this today and it took a couple of seconds to realize it's my own.

Lots of bird poop on it. I'm guessing the VIS motor doesn't work on it either......

Looks lovely.
Also you are a brave man. Fold them mirrors in

Ravinder · 17th May 2016, 14:10

Yes, it does have power folds. I should use them really.

Correct. It's parked in another street and I went past it and I was like "oh another 75....oh wait, that's mine. Doh!)

what's WRONG WITH THE BRAKES?? Sorry 'bout caps. Did the seller sort out your refund? You really need to get driving it Rav so you can bond......I bet if the 2 of you spend some quality time together you'll come to appreciate it's charms.......

kbonney88 · 17th May 2016, 20:03

Exactly... And what do u mean no brakes? They worked last week didn't they?

Ravinder · 17th May 2016, 20:04

Brakes are awful. They're actually dangerous. If it wasn't for them, I would certainly be driving it. Diesel is the priority right now. The V6 will have to wait a bit longer. That was always the plan anyway. And, yes, I manage to get some money back also so it's not as painful as before.
