Decidedly not alone there.
I may buy another car in the future but the Rover isn't going anywhere.
I hope to pass it down to one of my grand children

I can see me keepimg mine for some time yet. But, I don't know which one as I have several. I won't be keeping them all, though. Some will have to go.

I will struggle getting rid of any of our 75's.. I do have a favourite my Gold Tourer.. but there are a few others I wouldn't want to get rid of too..

You are only a 'babi' yet. 78 and still do my own repairs and servicing. Would not let anyone touch my motor, only in an emergency. I know it's done properly then. My car is nearly 15 years old and 93,345 miles..

Getting the Panda was actually the right thing to do. Since I have had it my Knee has got much worse and I have just had an MRI for a possible spinal problem.
Yes I do miss my 75 and if I was in a better position I'd go for a well cared for 75 1.8 Auto, as a second car though, averaging nearly 50mpg round town isn't to be sniffed at and neither is £30 road tax, in fairness though I do miss my 75's and wish I was in a better position health wise and financially to afford both cars.

This week it flew through the MOT and then had a B service, again the garage gave it a clean bill of health, I was only too happy to spend over £300 on it this week.

Has anyone else found this with their 75 and decided this car is going nowhere, or am I getting old at 34 and stuck in my ways? I did have someone enquire about the car earlier this year, I said No without even asking what they might be prepared to offer.

Its a 2.5 KV6 car from Cowley.

I will never want to sell my ZT-T, as my wife Kirsty asked me when she picked up her brand new Dacia Sandero Stepway, I am tempted by another car to which my reply was as well as keeping my ZT-T possibly but instead of my ZT-T no.

The 75 bug maybe, not so much the ZT. Sorry.
