Rover 75 V8

We're on the lookout for a Rover 75 V8

Preferably a tourer, but if not a saloon would be fine.

Watcha got?

Join the TwoSixties as there’s an up to date and comprehensive list of all V8 cars for sale

This is the comprehensive list Les is talking about: LINK Its in the public section so you don't need to be registered to read it.

I am a member of the two-sixties, and have looked at the list - even been to view a few cars that are on it, but thanks anyway.

There's a nice one I really like, but the grill surround has been stolen - probably because they are so difficult to get hold of - which is why I've also got a wanted thread for one of those. Incidentally, the car that requires it is not on the two-sixties list....

I know Bob has decided to keep the bear, but I wouldn't be interested anyway as it's an MG, rather than a Rover.

David, who maintains the list, can only post cars he has found for sale or has been told about. Just need to be persistent, keep checking, took me a few months to track a V8 down. One I found one turned out to be in Ireland, phoned the guy but his accent was so thick he could have been offering me the car for free I wouldn't have known

The one that needs the surround l isn't advertised on the internet, and when I queried the seller about that he asked me not to pass the details on... very strange...

But hey-ho!

Yes, not going to buy one just because it's there and for sale, it's a big purchase and it needs to be *right*

FlyingBanana on here has a V8 I heard he was willing to sell.

Pooky Bear I think he's nicknamed it.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested...

Get it bought before someone beats you to it.
