Holding out for the right car.
Discussion
Is bloody annoying. I've got a wedge of cash burning a right hole in my pocket, but can't find a car with quite the specification I'm after.
Ok, I'm at the lower end of the market, and no doubt most people will tell me to put up with what's available, but my budget is actually well above what I'm looking for. I think the problem is that with the year I'm after a lot will have already gone to the scrappers
Which is sad.
If anyone knows of a half-decent Rover 75, on a W, X (or possibly one on a Y) plate only, within a reasonable distance from East Yorkshire, let me know!

You are doing the right thing by posting about it.
After wasting my time (and petrol) visting dealers to see cars that were not as described, I posted in the specialist section of PH for the car I was after and asked if there were any private owners looking to sell. A week later I was the owner of the exact colour and spec car I was after - with 18 months extended warranty; the seller being a 1/2 hour drive up the road. It can, and does, work.
Best of luck.

Good to hear! Although the Rover forums on here are a little quiet. I am a member over at 75andztclub or whatever it's called, and am keeping an eye out there and getting myself acquainted with the locals After wasting my time (and petrol) visting dealers to see cars that were not as described, I posted in the specialist section of PH for the car I was after and asked if there were any private owners looking to sell.

What's your exact spec, such as engine etc, I'll keep my eyes peeled in Doncaster.
Thank you, kind sir!Any petrol engine (1.8, 2.0 or 2.5), either Connoisseur or Connoisseur SE spec, with door torpedos (a lot were built with that deleted as per the options sheet
) and ideally on a W or X plate. May stretch to a Y plate though. KardioKate said:

Forgive my lack of encyclopedic Rover knowledge, but WTF?
What about the bumper canons and ejector seats?
Yes, those too please!What about the bumper canons and ejector seats?

So at £13 I could fit those myself, but, I'd probably never get them straight
