Rover 75 Tribute

A very special song for a very special car. Scissor Sister's 'It can't come quickly enough' as the backing music to clips of pre-production Rover 75s. Hearing the news today about SAIC buying the Rover marque and building its own Chinese 75 seems to be such a degrading way for Britains last fine car to end up.

I have to say, at the start of this video where it shows the 75 in Paris, it does look very at home there amongst the glamore and 'smartness' that is Paris. It has aged very well the Rover 75 too! To think the oldest ones are now 11 years old as well? Correct me if thats wrong.

Good man Genius83 ;)

Yep the 75 still looks very classy. They don't look out of place when parked next to Jaguar XJs, Bentleys etc etc.

The oldest and very rare 'S' reg ones will be starting to turn 11 years old very shortly.

can someone please tell me how economic this car is in regards to fuel cost?

[andycarr75]

What model variation are you looking at?

My Rover 75 Cost me 30 thousand on an 03 plate, and has never let me down.

75 Best car ever made.

Still have mine, and the value will be high in the future as it is a guaranteed classic, so i will keep it.

Total classic, last of the great British cars.

When I got my Rover 75 my father said that I will tire of it and get another car one day - Yeah right - I still love my 9 year old Rover 75 a year later. Beautiful drive - unlike other cars I have driven (including mercedes). Class, style, Luxury driving - You have not driven a car so beautifully as a Rover 75. Should still be in production - Labour could have bailed them out to continue making Luxury cars.

Shame - could have been the start of something special in the British Car industry.

stunning cars inside and out cant be matched for comfort,the first day i drove it into work one of my workmates said he thought it was the managers car after i parked it up,then i told him it was mine and he asked if he could sit in it,half an hour he was in there.

I have a Rover 75 cdti Tourer connoisuer SE and I have to say it is the best car I have ever owned. I have an 04 reg which was 5 years old when I bought it with 56,000 miles for £4300 it would have cost £30,000 when new...dont you just love a bargain!! Pure luxury and its 2.0 BMW diesel engine reported to be one of the most reliable long living power plants ever built will just pur for years. If you are going to buy one keep clear of the 1.8 petrol all the rest are good.

@niksomerford

Have you still got the car?

Im waiting for mine to come from the dealer,a 2.0 CDT,and the fuel figures are achievable from what i hear.

Cheap to insure aswell,i was quoted £170 fully comp,and that is LESS than my old pug 306.

I have the W reg 2.5 V6 Rover 75 :) What a joy to sit in that car, drive it. It's a great car no dubt. oh and does 30mpg on motorway and about 22mpg around the city.

[supercarfan0146]

I much rather the 1998-2004 version in this video than the 2004 facelift version.

Great video ;)

Well thats all well and good when people keep harping on about them still being made. However - they're not built or sold over here. The Rowe 750 is quite a lot different and the MG 7 is closer to a Rover 75 but uses the MG marque.

For the record SAIC/NAC couldn't buy the Rover marque because BMW retained it, then sold it to Ford who have then since sold it to TATA along with Jaguar/LandRover.
