Rover 75s are and always have been old man's cars. Whenever I see one on the road the pilot is usually 'of a certain age'.

As long as people have a negative view of MGR and never buy them, there are more good ones left for us to buy.
We benefit from the low purchase price, easy maintenance and quality ride. It just goes to prove how tarnished the brand became and why it may never appear again. The only gripe I have is with people who talk total rubbish when they clearly have no idea what they are on about. Apparently my Rover 75 2.0 V6 is reliable because of its Honda engine and some think it’s a BMW engine. One bloke even argued with me about what engine was under the bonnet. Being a car for an old man is way down the list of worries to concern me.

My o/h ''made'' me sell one of our rovers a couple of weeks ago so reluctantly I listed the 2.5 v6 saloon.
I was delighted when it sold to a 24 year old who was buying it as the first car he has owned. He said he'd been looking for one for a year. Lovely fella apparently and a member on here. I left a badge in it and instead of popping it in the post he drove the hour from where he lives to my wee house to return it. So, no, not old men's cars at all. |

No worse than anything else being cobbled together at the time of their production, and streets ahead of many mainstream rivals from Ford, Vauxhall, etc. |

I’ve always believed that BL, ARG, MGR and all the the other names it had made great cars, badly. SD1 I drove to the scrapper was a dream to drive but full of holes. The list goes on unfortunately.
