March 1998 Rover 75, 0 miles??!!
Hi everyone
Just seen this 75 on ebay, claiming to be registered in March 1998, when I was sure production did not start until early 1999, and the launch was in October 1998. A prototype or a typo? It is S reg, when sales did not start until T reg. Also it claims to have 0 miles, surely this can't be right????!!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1998-Rover-75-...em200045722188 |

Hello and welcome to forums!
The milleage would appear to be a typo. For that price it would have covered a fair few miles. There are a few un-registered vehicles or delivery milleage only vehicles still up for grabs if you search. Asking prices for a genuine un-registered vehicle would be near list price. ie £15K upwards depending on model. As for it's S-reg plate. It may be a pre-production model. Some were available to press and motor journalists for testing etc. I'm not entirely sure when production started. Someone in the know will be along shortly to comfim this or not. |

Hi Bolin and welcome
DVLA says The vehicle details for S580 AOX are: Date of Liability 21 03 2006 Date of First Registration 15 02 1999 Year of Manufacture 1999 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2497CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour BLUE Vehicle Type Approval Looks like the sellers have got a few things wrong, or DVLA has They almost always advertise without the mileage listed.

I assume it must be a press car then. Feb '99 could be a pre-production prototype, it is four months before the car actually went on sale.....does anyone know why there was such a long wait? I remember reading somewhere that BMW wanted an early launch especially for the British Motor Show.

My first 75 was an Atlantic blue 1.8 Club with all the extras (seat heaters, rear blind, heated and headlamp washers etc) and it was an ex-dealer principle car. It was a T plate in early 1999, and I have seen quite a few in that spec. This could well be one of them.
