Livermpj · 6th May 2017, 14:35

** SOLD**

After 16 years of rewarding ownership, the time's come to give someone else the chance to enjoy my Copperleaf Rover 75 CDT Club saloon

I’ve had the car from new in 2001, during that time it's been cared for and maintained like a classic car.

So, if you’re looking for a solid and immaculate 75, or even a potential show car, read on!
(PS. It won 'car of the show' at Eden camp in the early days of the club).

See next post for new price! Car is near M1 J25, Nottingham.
PM me with any questions and I'll be happy to help.

There can't be many Mk1 diesel 75's in this condition, with full history from new and nice low mileage (68k), in perfect running order, immaculate interior and ready for the road.

But, I've had to have a reality check on price... Seems I was too optimistic...
Therefore I've decided to offer a more realistic price of £2000 ONO.

Remember: This is a car with full history from NEW, only ever one driver (me), never been involved in any accidents, and been thoroughly serviced and pampered from NEW.
Everything works as it should, even items that can fail due to hard use (e.g. clutch, DMF, lower arm bushes) are still perfect because it's been treated carefully since NEW.

There can't be many cars like this left, it'll serve some lucky new owner very well for a good few years to come.
As the photo's show, it still looks fabulous - and it's not been cleaned specially for the photo's - that's how I've kept it for 16 years. Just ask the neighbours!

Only selling because it's hardly been used over the last few years, and we need the garage space.

Could deliver if required (I'm quite central near Nottingham/Derby). Happy to answer any questions, either drop me a PM or post a reply.
Thanks, Pete.
