The story behind this car:
Acquired as a non-runner that had been laid up since 2020 with wiring and combustion issues. Rather than letting it go for scrap or spares, it has been mechanically restored back to running order by a specialist with hands-on MG Rover Group experience and specific expertise in the KV6 engine. The result is a car that starts, drives and behaves exactly as it should: mechanically solid, with a chassis that remains completely rust-free and factory original.
Honest points, as expected on a car of this age and history:
-Paintwork shows signs of its time in storage in places: there are light marks, areas of wear and fade, and a more noticeable scratch on the driver's side. The car is not being sold as a concours example and the price reflects this honestly.
-One of the bullet mirrors has minor cosmetic damage but functions correctly. A replacement is being sourced and will be included if found before sale.
-Key fob remote not currently working.
-Leather shows light age-appropriate wear.
-Headliner is sagging slightly towards the rear of the car.
-No service history beyond the V5, though the restoration work has been carried out by a named Rover KV6 specialist who affirms the cambelts have been replaced recently.
For the right buyer:
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine top-specification early Rover 75 with unusually low mileage, in an uncommon and attractive colour combination, already back on the road and ready to use. Whether you want to address the cosmetics and bring it to concours standard, or simply enjoy it as it is, the fundamentals are all there.
Viewing welcome in Warwick.
