The Appeal
This Rover 75 V8 presents a rare opportunity to own one of the last true Rovers. Building on the success of the 75 the V8 packed in a 4.6l Ford Mustang engine to produce a car that provided a luxurious driving experience with plenty of power on hand.
While exact production numbers are contested amongst enthusiasts, the consensus is that fewer than 150 V8's carried the Rover badge. This 75 V8 is in excellent condition, clearly having been very well cared for throughout its life and offers that combination of luxury and power that the 75 V8 was designed for. The car looks fantastic inside and out and would make a fine addition to any collection.
The LPG conversion means that a trip to the pumps isn’t the eye-watering experience it might otherwise be and with MOT until August 2023 it’s ready to drive and enjoy.

- Classic early 2000’s Rover aesthetics
- Leather and wood steering wheel in excellent condition

The Rover 75 was known for providing a luxurious driving experience and the 75 V8 was no different. With extensive use of leather and wood the interior still feels as good today as it did when it rolled out of the factory. WIth classic 2000’s design featuring lots of curving surfaces it makes for a very comfortable and aesthetically appealing interior for both the driver and the passengers. The dashboard must be one of the most elegant designs of this period and really demonstrates the luxury feel Rover was seeking to produce with the 75 V8.
The interior is in very good condition throughout with the extensive use of wood all presenting beautifully in classic Rover style. Combined with the wood trim, the seats are finished in black leather with white piping and show few signs of wear, whilst being fully electrically adjustable. The interior is entirely unmodified and comes with the original Rover radio/sat nav. The original television retains its remote control and still works, having been converted from analogue to digital. There is a CD multichanger in the boot and apparently the sound quality is excellent.
The rear middle seat belt shows some fraying, but this does little to detract from the otherwise impeccable presentation of the interior.

The Exterior
- Very good condition throughout
- Original Rover alloy wheels in very good condition with one showing some signs of light kerbing
- Light lenses, trim, bright work and windows all in very good condition
- Mustang badge on the rear
- Some very minor imperfections as to be expected with a car if this age - shown in images
The Rover 75 V8 retains the elegant and clean design of the original 75, but with some subtle refinements. The front end has received a minor re-work with tweaks to the grille to give the car a somewhat more imposing presence and along with some less subtle re-badging such as the mustang badge on the rear, the car makes a very good first impression.
It’s in excellent overall condition thanks to careful ownership and the very low mileage. There are some minor blemishes in the form of some small stone chips, one very small dent and some very light kerbing to one of the wheels, but given the age of the car and the otherwise excellent presentation we think these can be forgiven. The combination of Platinum Gold paint, elegant design and the use of chrome trim produce a car that, whilst still understated, is both elegant and stylish.
The Mechanics
- Very low mileage
- Long MOT
- Just serviced at 30,845 miles
- LPG conversion with tank in the boot
- 4.6-litre Ford Mustang engine
- Undersides present excellently
It’s plain to see from the images that this car has been very well cared for, but that's what you’d expect with a Rover 75 V8, less boy racer and more gentleman driver. The condition of the car is perhaps no better demonstrated than on the underside, which presents exceptionally well and is often the tell tale area for a car that has been poorly treated. With only three owners, a full set of service stamps and having covered just a shade over 30,000 miles, this Rover's mechanicals present very well indeed.
The owner informs us that the big Ford Mustang engine starts easily on a turn of the key and that the car accelerates very well, braking quickly and surely without pulling to either side. They also tell us that the Zavoli LPG system works exactly as it should, making this big V8 Rover a surprisingly economical car.. The engine starts on petrol but switches automatically to gas after a short while, depending on the ambient temperature.
As with the big naturally aspirated V8 the owner tells us that the automatic gearbox works perfectly, shifting on time and surely making for a very relaxed driving experience.
Summary
Presenting in nicely original condition, with very low mileage, a practical LPG conversion, only three owners from new and with a long MOT, this is a fantastic opportunity to own one of the last and best Rovers.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
