My Old Car, It was a really nice car, the nine months I had it, I came to one of the meets in it. But I wanted another 75 again after I missing my beloved 75, I hope it goes to a good home.
I love the beige interior. Better than boring black which is the default colour for modern cars. It’s like sitting in a coffin! Dark, dank and gloomy, especially in the winter!
I have one like it , y plate as well , it’s the car that made me find this channel , really enjoy driving it, your is way better condition , good luck with this sale !
Its DD! Now then', 'now then' and thrice 'now then ... ' it can only be Allegroman! This time sporting his superhero hi-viz jacket! What a beautiful Alfie-blue Rover 45. I wonder, does Allegroman have his own dealer stickers? I think he should get some! 'What are we supposed to be doing?' 😄😁
I had three of the saloons. The last two had the 2 litre T series engine. The very last was an older car which had 1 owner and 30k miles out of a deceased's estate. It was probably only used for church and Tesco once a week. It was perceived as a grandad car at that time. It had lived by the coast but it was otherwise a time warp car, very clean, thoroughly reliable, well appointed and it went very well indeed - some might say surprisingly well. I miss the nobbles at 10 and 2 in the steering wheel rim. Age did catch up with it. I confess that it simply served its term with me. Among a crescendo of issues, it gave up its engine for a Freelander but I had three years and about 40,000 miles enjoyable, trouble free and cheap motoring out of it. Nice, under-appreciated cars. A cambelt did for my 1600 K series. It was anno domini for the others.
@@andyb3666 I'm drawing casual conclusions, when it comes to a facelift. They were the bubble style as depicted with boot, 420? "R" and "P" reg as I recall. I lost the green "R" reg 416? to its K series cambelt, precisely as it was booked in for the job to be done. I was making assertive progress up a hill at the time and it made a pretty mess, with bits of broken valve flying around and ruptured cylinder sleeves. Off the top of my head:- - There were the boxy Honda based 200 series, 213/216 VDP, Vitesse etc ( a progression of the Acclaim) - Then a square cornered 200/400 range saloon/hatchback, which bore the Tomcat style Coupe and a scarce Tourer version, which looked really rather good, - Then, what was commonly called the bubble style generation, (213/216/413/416/420?). The first facelift was designated 25/45 I believe and the final facelift of the latter provided that appalling slab shaped bootlid. I have had and enjoyed cars out of all those series. A black 1988 216 Sprint with white wheel trims and go faster stripe served me very well over most of 100k miles, but the one I truly mourn is my wife's Tomcat style 1600 Coupe in dark blue metallic.
Lovely early 45 with my favourite 45 wheels. Perfect colour too, just a shame its a hatchback, for me they just don't look as nice as the saloon, not quite as shapely. Bargain waiting for someone though given its mileage and condition. Allegroman eh! Its like he's got dowsing rods to find cars!😊
I was in the car park at work next to my Rover with the boot open. The boss walked past and declared that the boot was tiny. A few months later and the same thing happened, but this time she declared that the boot was big. M

Allergroman, sells cars.
Always enjoy his appearance on the channel.
I had a silver 400 saloon. I still remember the number plate. It’s R329PER. Great car!
Its DD!

Were those 400s? Think the T series stopped before the 45

Yeah, they find their way to him in an unnatural way.
5:45 in t'morning I'm watching a video about a car I don't want to buy. Still who wants to be at work on time. cracking motor
A good price. Please dont say " now then now then " in quick succession as I have flash backs to 1980 when I appeared on Jim will fix it.
🤣🤣
The 5 door doesn't have the presence of the saloon. Too Honda!
I follow three Rover channels.....I hate the bloody things....I also pull my own teeth.

Now then, allegro man strikes again, think his terrier unearths these cars like truffles, beautiful car.
