? Two sets of keysThis 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 100 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 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 Mustang engine starts easily on a turn of the key and the car accelerates very well, braking quickly and surely without pulling to either side. The LPG system works exactly as it should as has been fully serviced recently. The engine starts on petrol but switches automatically to gas after a short while, depending on the ambient temperature. The automatic gearbox works perfectly, shifting on time.
