One of the last models Rover built before bankruptcy, this 75 V8 is a subtly handsome car with a luxurious interior and a smooth ride. The 4.6 litre V8 engine, lifted out of a Mustang, adds to the intrigue and driving experience.
Approximately 150 of the V8s carried the Rover badge, having been dressed up as the MG ZT. This example has been well cared for during its time and even had an LPG system fitted, which has now been removed. Its condition is telling as the exterior and interior have very little wear and tear.
Recently won through our auctions, it’s now back with only a few hundred more miles and having had the LPG system removed. So if you missed it the first time round, now’s your chance.
