2003 Rover 75 Club SE

Highlights


• Genuine 68,795 Miles
• Excellent original condition
• Recent service and year's MOT

HISTORY

The Rover 75 was a key vehicle for Rover, replacing as it did the 600 and 800 ranges. Launched in February 1999 to massive international acclaim, the 75 surprised many with its rather quaint detailing and uncanny refinement. 

Three petrol engines and a diesel engine were available in three main trim levels with the basic Classic and SE luxury variant of each added in October 1999. 

Created to give the car buying public that special sense of occasion, the Rover 75 certainly fulfilled this promise and was also seen as being good value for money, reliable and well put together.

BACKGROUND

This Rover 75 has a good service history and only three owners from new, with the last owner, due to illness, only covering a meagre 300 miles in the last year.

The car comes equipped with Air Conditioning, power steering, ABS braking electric front windows and tinted glass.

Recently serviced the car has also had new front coil springs, plus new front brake discs and pads, and a brake fluid change in August 2020.

The car has just recently had a new MOT, with no advisories, that expires in July of next year.

PAPERWORK

The V5 shows three previous owners and the car comes with a well stamped up service book and receipts for recent work.

INTERIOR

The light beige interior trim is all very clean with no obvious defects or damage to speak of. There is a bit of wear to be seen on the contrasting piping on the driver’s seat but the door cards, carpets, wood inserts, dashboard and headlining are all in very good overall condition.

EXTERIOR

Finished in Red Metallic paint the body, apart from a few touched-up stone chips here and there, is in exceptionally nice and glossy condition, with all chrome fittings and trims being in similarly fine condition.

The alloys are all in good shape and have good tyres fitted, the headlights are clear and free from any cloudiness and the shut lines are all good with the car sitting nice and squarely on the tarmac.

MECHANICS

The car has just recently been serviced and had new front brakes and coil springs at the front only last year. Everything is reported to be working correctly with ice-cold air conditioning to cool those hot summer drives.

There is a slight noise evident from a pulley in the engine compartment, but this is nothing to be overly concerned about.

APPEAL

The Rover 75 is known as one of the best models that Rover ever built, benefitting from being owned at that time by BMW, whose engineering and engines lent a new level of quality and durability to the Rover name.

This a very clean and presentable low-mileage example of the Rover 75 and benefits from the BMW 2.0 diesel engine which delivers great fuel economy.

The safest way to buy a classic car online

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
