2005 Rover 75 Classic Tourer
No Reserve - Just 30,000 miles

Registration No: BX05 BEJ
Chassis No: SARRJHTPB5D354994
MOT: July 2026

• Low mileage of just 30,500 miles from new
• In current registered ownership since 2017, with only one previous keeper
• Supplied new through Brindley MG Rover, and a resident of the West Midlands its whole life
• Desirable late-production facelift example

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 traditional styling (both inside and out), the newcomer could be had with a range of petrol and diesel engines (1.8 to 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 never achieved the commercial success it deserved. For the Rover 75 Classic Tourer specifically, HowManyLeft suggests that 152 examples remain in Britain as of 2026, with only fifty-six licensed for the road.

The Rover 75 truly marked the end of an era, not only representing one of the very last Rover products, but also being the last traditional saloon constructed under wholly British ownership by the time production ceased in 2005. A perfectly good car in its own right, it is fully deserving of enthusiast interest, and this example, showing just two keepers and 30,000 miles from new, is especially so. It is truly one of the last of the breed, having been registered in July, 2005, a few months after MG Rover declared bankruptcy in the April.

Supplied new by Brindley MG Rover in this lovely Royal Blue paint, with the 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine, it has been a resident of the West Midlands all its life and entered the present (second) ownership in 2017. Throughout its life, it has been in continuous but sparing use, and hence survives in very well-preserved condition. Its mileage is documented in the long MOT record, and it is supplied with an MOT valid until July, 2026. A genuinely important landmark car from the twilight of the British motor industry, it is sure to generate interest if it is ever put on display.
