2001 Rover - Austin 75 connosieur review from UK and Ireland

The only slight niggle has been that one of the rear doors was been really hard to open on a couple of occasions when I first got the car, as if the lock was sticking. This has now cleared up and is perfectly fine.

An outstanding value for money car. The equipment level is surpassed by none, I mean this car has satelite navigation and a telly onboard, (the picture is pin sharp) as well as all the usual refinements you would expect. It feels alive to drive (and this is an automatic) The looks are stylish and distinct, and NO it doesn't look like an S-Type it's the S-type if anything that looks like the Rover though I can't see that much similarity between them.

I have always had Rovers my first being a 1982 3500 SD1 and my last prior to this being an 820 vitesse. This is by far the quietest smoothest and most refined Rover to date (if not quite as quick as the vitesse).

The car I have is a 2.5 ltr V6 connoisseur in British racing green with the optional sea green leather interior, it looks superb.

I may be slightly biased, but I honestly believe you would struggle to find a car out there on the market, as well equipped as a 75 for the same sort of money you can pick these up for. A real gem of a car and a real winner for Rover.
