A clean sheet design developed during BMW’s custodianship of Rover, the 75 won What Car magazine’s ‘Car of the Year’ award in 1999. Allying modern dynamics to pleasingly retro styling (both inside and out), the newcomer could be had with a range of petrol and diesel engines (1.8 – 2.5 litres) mated to either manual or automatic transmission. Available in Classic, Club or Connoisseur trim levels (with an SE variant of each), the 75 was never achieved the commercial successful it deserved. Indeed, according to the Rover 75 / MG ZT Club only 3,671 Rover 75 2.5 V6 Connoisseur SE models were ever made.
Supplied new by Evans Halshaw of Birmingham on September 29th 2004, ‘DU54 XMY’ is warranted to have covered a mere 36,000 or so miles from new. The accompanying combined owner’s handbook / service history book records eight bouts of maintenance, the most recent being last year. Finished in the attractive combination of White Gold metallic with Sandstone leather upholstery, the Rover’s generous specification encompasses a wood veneer dashboard, wood / leather steering wheel, air-conditioning, automatic transmission, CD stereo, electric windows and heated / memory front seats. Benefiting from a vehicle health check and waxoyl treatment by Bristol Motors in March 2025, the saloon started readily and ran well during our recent photography session.
