Britain's Mercedes Beater - Rover 75 Connoisseur 2.5 V6

[edwestby1275]

Hi everyone,
If you're interested, here's a video I've put together looking around a gorgeous Rover 75.
I talk a bit about the history and development of the 75, then have a good look around, and finally give you a taste of the growly V6 noises it makes!

Excellent video. I was anticipating plenty of misapprehensions and falsehoods, particularly around the relationship with BMW, but the content of your video was spot on.

I was 21 when I bought by first 75, and I've still got it, among other cars, 12 years later, although it needs a fair amount of work. Your video is a bit of a kick to start making plans for it again.

I'm afraid the lawnmower in the background did me within about 15 seconds.

Just came across this part of the forum in passing; an interesting video with some interesting points.

Here is my 75, bought in September as my new daily, about 1500 miles done since, did have to change to the thermostat which on the KV6 is a bit of a pig, but otherwise smooth sailing.

i actually went the other way. I had an early 75 (black sills - Coventry built?) and sold it to buy a Mercedes.

Reason was the Rover 75 was unreliable. I ended up spending more on it than fuel and had to throw the towel in on it. It got scrapped about 3 months after i bought it. I vowed to never own one again.

Not forgetting i was a Rover man for about 20 years beforehand.
