  • I am determined to review all of the R40 variants. This is my 4th after a ZT 190, ZT 260 and 2x75 V6!
    This lovely example of a 1.8 non-turbo is a low mileage, good condtion one... and YOU can buy it! Just get in touch for details. I know! I got the colour wrong, it's copperleaf not Nightfire Red!

    The MK1 looks fantastic in that colour. I had a Connoisseur SE MK1 and then a Classic SE and I didn't feel that the lower spec was any less opulent. All the nice 75 styling touches were still there and I found the cloth to be more comfortable than the leather.
    Very good price being asked considering the lovely condition.

    Great review, Thankyou for sharing. As you say very nice classic looking car. My ex sister in law had a 2002 mgzs with the 1.8 K series, bought @ 8,000 miles & ran for 5 years till it had 44,000 on the clock, never ever serviced in that time & no trouble whatsoever, my brother serviced it & the head gasket went within afew weeks.

    I took my Rover 75 Celeste to the washing service and even gave a hand waxing on top! It looks so lovely and in mint condition!!! I always look back at the car, when I am leaving to my home. Decent quality, not expensive in keeping it. Daily driver. Style and class. 20 year old and leather, climate control, cruise control, Android Radio Unit, heated seats. What do you want more?
