Default Interesting LWB For Sale

Hello all

On my Facebook Marketplace searching spree I came across a nice LWB 75.

Spec:

Facelift but converted to pre-facelift
55 Plate
BRG
Boot Lid with lid badge but no rover lettering
V6 2.5
Connoisseur SE
Automatic
ULEZ Compliant
80k Miles
Hi-Line Navigation System
5 Button Control thingy

For only £1300!!

Is this a good buy? I would’ve gotten if I had the space and money.

Thanks

I expect it will be due it’s Cam belts which will be an added cost so possibly the reason for the sale? It sounds like a good price for what is described but it depends on the condition of the car and how it’s been kept and driven. Maybe look up it’s MoT history as a start if you are tempted.

I've not seen one for sale for a while. I'd love to have one of them but the diesel would be my preference

Nice looking car with MK1 features in BRG. Looks to have covered less than 5000 miles over the last 10 years, so as Reebs says the belts are likely long overdue. Unfortunately I have far too many cars already. Would have had that if still available otherwise.

Most of the facebook listings show -1 litre, it’s a weird thing that facebook does. I searched the plate up and it’s a 2.5 V6

Convert it to lpg and it becomes very economical.
