The price is right good luck with selling it.

It's a lot of car for the money

i still regret selling mine.

You could buy this and relive the magic !

i want either a diesel or an lpg one with lots of toys. (SE spec preferably) but sadly dont have the cash yet, (unless anyone buys my current car)

you could stick it on the rover 75 forum, but it will cost you a tenner to join

Club SE is a good choice usual way to tell one from a Club is the wheels Club Se generally have 16" Union Jack pattern alloys.

What toys were on various models changed a bit over the years the Club SE has climate control which is worth having but if you want electric leather seats you have to go for a Connoisseur.

Most Tourers (estate) models seem to have full leather but most later estates are 1.8 turbos.

The more basic Club dosen't have climate control or fresh air vent in the rear and electric windows only fitted too the front doors.

Having had four 75's in the family given a choice I prefer cars with the smaller 15" alloy wheels, as the tyres last longer and are significantly cheaper and give a much better ride also the rims are less susceptible to damage. Handling wise most 04 onwards cars with the Rover rather than MG badge lacked the rear anti-roll bar.

An anti-roll bar is worth fitting as apart from better handling and comfort it seems reduce rear tyre wear.

The MG bar is thicker than the Rover type but I found the MG one made the rear a little too loose on damp roundabouts when used with the Rover front bar.

On the subject of tyre wear reducing the toe-in on the rear wheels from the factory setting makes the rears last 20% longer.

From late 03 plate models penny pinching saw some body trim and other parts simplified or delete, ie silly things like fitting a only single horn and fitting plain black door mirrors.

Post face lift models from Club upwards generally have automatic dipping interior mirrors and factory fit reverse sensors and message centre trip computers.

As for engines the 2 litre V6 is slightly simpler than the 2.5 V6 but it lacks the punch of the bigger unit and the fuel consumption is worse than the 1.8.
The 1.8 is also a good unit easy to work on provided as with all K series the workshop manual procedures are followed.
1.8 Turbos are perhaps best avoided more because they are given a harder life by their users than the unit itself.
The diesel is practically unburstable.

For LPG a 1.8 or 2 litre would be good bet.
The 1.8 gives about 27 mpg on LPG and a real world winter & summer MPG of 29 to 31 on petrol.

Suspension wise the only real chore is front suspension rear bushes, anti-roll bar links and front wishbones, it is worth getting top quality ones which will last 100,000 miles rather than cheap ebay fodder which last less than a year.

I recently bought an immaculate 54 plate low mileage (62,00) with fsh post facelift 1.8 Club for £1410 all inc at auction. Only fault I have found on it is the heater matrix is partly choke when the weather improves an acid clean and reverse flush should fix.

A couple of diesels in equivalent condition have gone through the same auction in the last 6 months and fetched about £800 more.
