My Car For Sale

[mininuts]

Looks nice Rich, can't really go wrong with the warranty they offer and yes, it's refreshingly different from your run of the mill Ford, Vauxhall etc, etc

Oh and the diesel is only £145 a year to tax

The R45 is a cracking car. Seriously well built and reliable - my 2003 1.4 has never let me down! Doesn't have the 'presence' of the 75 though!

Looks a smart thing. I think the Hyundai i40 tourer, which is the same motor, fundamentally, looks really smart, too. Auto, I hope? Knew a few people who had issues with gearboxes on the manuals.

Only problem I'd have with the Optima is the fact I can't get away from associating them with this man:

Good luck with your new car Richard.

I must admit I did think you were a diehard Rover Owner.

After looking at the dash of the Kia Optima which looks like something out of the 'Starship Enterprise', I can't really blame you in making a change.

Good luck with your new Kia, they are getting good press form the motoring guru's.

If anyone is wanting a 1.8T yours looks a cracking opportunity to buy a top top car.

I do but no funds at present & it's a tourer.

It's a really good drive, it's not a common car that everyone has, something a bit different

I have done the 75 now, time for a new adventure.

Ah but have you done the zt

This was my third and ultimate 75, there is not a better model in my eyes, I have no more tinkering to do on it, the fun has run out, so time for a new challenge.

Thank you very much, will be sad to see it go, it has been a good adventure and many great memories. Onwards and upwards.

The right one will come along, it took me ages to find this one.

Kind of, as it is essentially the same car, but it doesn't interest me as much as the 75. Dad had a Rover when I was little.

I have taken about 110 photos of the car today and will be adding them to the for sale thread later today.

I haven't photographed the boxes of spares that are included with the car however. But there is no shortage of stuff. Including some genuine service kits and a set of wheels too.
