Does anyone know of a 75 V8 Tourer for sale in the U.K.?

pondweed · 3rd February 2010, 20:38

one on a thread somewhere here very recently - within the last week, I seem to remember.

thanks, will look further...

This is the only mention I could find. Sorry to be picky, the customer would like one 'the right way round' !

32,950 euro-thingys is a bit rich, too -but what price such exclusivity?

As I'm sure you've noticed by now - the V8's are rare. The V8 Tourers are even rarer and the Rover variant in Tourer guise with the V8 is pretty much as rare as you can get. I don't know how many were made but I'd guess at less than the fingers on your hands. Guide prices therefore become unrealistic as it's entirely up to the person intending to buy if they feel it is worth the asking price or not.

Indeed, research has revealed there are only 13 V8 75 Tourers in the UK, so that makes them worth whatever the buyers wants to pay for them. I will attempt to persuade the gentleman to return this glorious carriage to home turf.

You could always try talking to member V8Biggles as he has a Rover 75 V8 Tourer in Monogram Aurora

Thanks Kandy

- I'm now drooling over my monitor....

Thank you, Kandyman. I assume V8Biggles could be persuaded to part with that fabulous vehicle for a suitable sum? I will take it up with him...

By the way, that Dutch website also has an unused V8 saloon for sale

€ 49.900 -These chaps clearly know a special vehicle when they see one.
