Cool 1999 Connoisseur 2ltr V6 Auto - NOW SOLD

Sadly I've decided its time to move my Rover 75 on. Its my third 75 and my favourite but I've decided to concentrate on my old bikes and I've found a Morris Minor (!!) for occasional commuting.

Its a blue 1999 Connoisseur 2ltr V6 Petrol with about 114,205 on the clock. It has an MoT to 28 August 2022 and is located in Wallingford, Oxfordshire.

Good bits: Goes well and everything works. Heated leather seats are lovely. JVC stereo has bluetooth & USB connectivity so does handsfree and lets me carry my entire music collection on a stick.
I've had it since Dec 2015 and in that time its had:
2016
Cambelts & Service
4 Tyres (Dunlop)
Fan Brushes
Shannon tube
Oil & Filters
Spare Key (no chip)
Wipers
Interior Light
Wishbone Bushes
Wishbone (osf)
2017
Washer pump
Oil & Filters
Brakes & Track Rod
Tracking
4 Tyres (Avons)
Headlight Polish
Radiator Hose
Silencer
2018
Oil & Filters
Aircon gas
2018
Oil & Filters
2019
Oil (inc g'box), Filters
Battery
Radiator & Anti-freeze
Drop links
Wishbone nsf
Rear Springs & Shock Absorbers
Idler pulley
2020
Brake lines
Wishbone (osf)
2021
Drop links
Coolant cap
Front Tyres (Avon ZT7)
Oil & Filters

Bad bits: She has always lost coolant - ODB occasionally says mis-fire on cyl 5 so I suspect the front head gasket is leaking, no mayo.
Some paint chips but nothing major.

According to the VIN list on the forum its one of the oldest production cars on here.

I didn't get any replies and she's still available.
2020 has brought:
New brake lines
Sill welded
MOT to 28/08/21
OSF wishbone bush
Wipers
Headlight polish

Still needs hand-brake, front tyres & coolant issues sorting. I've only done 2000 miles since March. She starts first time and drives very well.

No rush :¬)

Sadly I didn't get round to fixing her this summer and I think its now time to let her go.
Still in physically good nick but the water loss has got a bit worse over the past couple of weeks -s see note about ODB & Head Gasket above.
