Default Low Mileage Mk1 CDTi in Wedgewood (I think)

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-75-...MAAOSwKL5cVzfq

Only 48k on the clock, and looks a stunner.

Looks nice but oddly has a Cowley front bumper?

Facelift came in early 2004. This one was first registered in February of that year so it may well have been built the previous year. But the colour is the slightly greener Mk2 version of Wedgwood Blue. Interesting combination.

Agreed but still strange to only have a Cowley front end especially when they finished years before.

How does the Cowley front differ? I thought it was just a case of Mk1 and Mk2.

Cowley cars have black sills and bottom of both bumpers is painted black. Perhaps on this car the bumper was damaged and it was easier to paint it black than repaint it blue. Or the bumper was badly damaged and this bumper came from a scrapped Cowley car.

60 bids and counting someone is interested!

Service history seems a bit odd, only 7 services in 15 years and first service would have been somewhere around 3.5 years old.

Relatively clean bill of health on MOTs.

Lovely car, a bit basic but who cares? the low mileage makes up for it. Easily brought up to a better spec

Nice. How many times can one mention 'BMW engine' in a short ad?
