I am back in 75 ownership
As some members are aware i started a thread (Time to be honest with myself... i want a 75 ) the other day saying i wanted to get back into 75/ZT ownership, well i am happy to say i am back in the fold .
I have got myself a 2003 52-reg Rover 75 2.5 V6 Club SE Automatic in white gold, its only covered 72k with full service history and only 1 former keeper. The belts was changed at 67k so need to worry for a while . I cant pick the car up till Wednesay as as the dealer is going to put a fresh 12 months M.O.T on it and its taxed till end of May. The dealer wanted £1390 for it but i have managed to get it for £1100 with 3 months warrenty. Below are some pics (DEALER PICS) :- Only mods i will making to this 75 are:-

Your next challenge:
Find an 'S' type Jag with the same mileage; equipment etc for less than 3X what you paid for this one. Hope it goes well.

Funny enough the dealer did have a silver V-reg S-type for £995 but i did not even give it a glance over as i was to busy having a good look at the 75
