MOT: November 2026
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 howrareismycar.co.uk only 578 Rover 75 Classic CDT models were ever registered for UK roads.
Changing hands swiftly after its July 19th 2004 completion - so perhaps pre-registered or a dealer demonstrator - ‘SH54 UDK’ was cherished by its third and fourth keepers for some twenty years (2005-2025). Warranted to have covered a modest 46,000 miles, the Rover is understood to have been serviced no fewer than eighteen times. Powered by a BMW derived 1951cc four-cylinder turbodiesel engine allied to Getrag five-speed manual transmission, the 75 enjoys a decent turn of speed and decent fuel economy. Finished in the handsome combination of X-Power Grey Metallic with a two-tone Axis / Tuscany interior, the saloon’s plush cloth upholstery is offset by wooden dashboard veneers. Due to be driven to The Pavilion Gardens, this stylish and practical modern classic is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, sundry paperwork and MOT certificate valid until November 2026.
