    That's a cracking buy for that price & well under scrap price as you say, I scrapped my 75 last year as the rats had got into it & chewed wiring & the tin worm was bad on n/s rear sill so £400 wasn't to be sniffed at & they collected it too.

      I think the prices have gone down since then, it made buying a cheap runaround pretty difficult.

    I would take great pleasure in valeting this. Poorboy Black Hole paint cleaner would add loads of gloss and darkness to the gunmetal grey paint. But this is the first Rover 75 I've ever seen with naff Volkwagen Polo-caliber carpets @1:08. I thought 75's all used proper BMW-ish carpets.

    You would look at Charles? and never think it was a £200 motor let alone a £67 motor. I don't think I can get anywhere near that with my ZT-T, no matter how many engines I weigh in. Just remembered, I have a set of rear light gaskets you can have (looks like you need them), no idea why I bought them!

    The advanced man-maths displayed in this video are pushing the boundaries of the field. An example to us all - let us be free of dreary economic realities and buy more knackered but profitable cars immediately. I’m off to look at an MGF tomorrow, I have a feeling that will prove an extremely sound business decision.

    Every time I see a 75 it just makes me feel a bit sad. Rover had a chance and the money to do something genuinely cool for a change, but no, they had to make something that only appealed to crusty old boomers. I still remember the feeling of disappointment the first time I saw it. Such a waste.

      @@KarlHamiltonTo be fair, there wasn’t a full-sized saloon or estate made by anyone that was designed to appeal to 18-year-olds! What would have been the point? Youths don’t need one and they can’t afford one either. This segment was always the very definition of mature driver, going all the way back in time. Rover deserved credit for deliberately catering for an older market with the 75 - these days, all manufacturers are obsessed by youth and sportiness, it’s embarrassing.
