A Rover 75 makes a great modern classic runaround, with a comfy ride, space for five with luggage and classic styling. Our colleagues at Classics World picked up a diesel Tourer automatic sight-unseen off Twitter, what could possibly go wrong?

I always loved the 75, and would absolutely love to own one.

💯% agreed with everything you said. I just sold my identical CDTi copperleaf tourer a couple of weeks ago after 4 years of loving having it, after I -accidentally- bought a racing green CDTi saloon with no miles on it.😬 We toured Scotland with it amongst other places and it was at least half the pleasure of the trips.

Lovely car and colour but a very common leak problem that you probably havent solved!!! Most with sunroofs with leak from the sunroof drains, that move and even fall out from the hole in the firewall, allowing water inside. Its a simple fix, most fix with aquarium pipe connectors that prevent the sunroof drain from moving at all but the carpets can take days or weeks to dry properly. Mine stayed in the greenhouse for a week!! .

Mine us identical owned 11 years now except a manual. 225,000 still pulls like a train. Still love it. Rare beast now as numbers are dropping.

Wonderful cars, it would have been great if they officially made a coupe/ convertible version.

It the same story with my car,,I got it cheap ,and it was and is a wonderful car,, But 5 months after I got it and after a particularly heavy downpour,, I discovered water in the carpet front and back (wheelwell) ,it turns out it was the sunroof drains...It was a right palaver getting everything out and the carpet was sodden,and took about a month to dry out ,its advisable to cut the bottoms of the drain tubes to prevent clogging..All is good now,,, For the price of 1200quid I think its a really great car...

Had the same problem sunroof drain hoses under dash Rovers poor quality hose fit water runs down soaking carpet front and back strip out everything in the car that carpet when soaked weighs a ton. Lucky for me it was summer 3 days to dry. Love these cars had 5 but my god so many problems from brake pipe corrosion, chassis corrosion, seels corroded, water leaks, the list is endless.
