Thread: Rover 75?

G'day Folks

There is/was a Rover 75 on Bribie Island, about late 90's or early 2000's nice looking vehicle,but, service/parts for these is a tad hard to locate, also saw a 75 wagon down at Manheim Fowles Bris. yard a few months ago, going by the customs/shipping stickers on it was a recent import. nice but a little bit squishy.

Those Rover sedans from the 50's/60's were the "Aunty Rover"s elegant motoring from the bygone era,smooth,silent,slow off the mark but motored nicely,the poor mans Bently, the choice of Doctors, Barristers,and Uni Professors.Loved that large floor mounted handbrake,and the suicide rear doors

cheers

Hi Uncle.

Good chance of bumping into Grockle and Sig there, Sig's a keen Dales walker.
