This car ran superbly until he Turbo oil seals failed. It still runs well apart from smoke at first start up.

I am open to offers.

Still have the 75 Turbo if any body is interested.
Will give it a few more days then it will go for scrap.
A shame really as its in excellent condition and ran really well until the turbo seals let go.

Can be seen on the Preloved site Rover 75 Club 1.8 Turbo.

Hi Geoff

Actually the car runs very well it had a complete o/haul 2years ago, Head gasket,water pump,valves,cam belt & kit etc two years ago done about 10k since.

It starts 1st time even when stood a while thanks in part to a genuine Rolls Royce battery.
It runs mint then starts to smoke when the exhaust burns the oil from the Turbo seals.

There is no accident damage apart from scuff on rear bumper and the alloys are immaculate.

I,m asking £275 The turbo looks a reasonable job to replace down at the front of the engine and I have a mate with a recovery vehicle.

You could give me a call on 01782 624841
I am at 10/ST5 6RL.

Cheers Derek

nice to speak to you this afternoon Derek my mate tells me he has sourced an engine locally.looking at pictures it looks a nice motor.seems a shame to have to scrap it if I lived a lot nearer and had somewhere to put it would be tempted for myself but I am like you over 65 and only helping out 2 days a week till end of feb so a no no
