Rover 75 v8 for sale query

[oldie]

Does any body know of, or the owner of, this vehicle?

Gold Rover 75 Connoisseur v8 BX05 KHM.

I think it is in the Severn area. The car was briefly for sale on Autotrader during August this year however the advert had been removed by the time I returned from holiday. Looking on the MoT/Tax history page I don't think the car was sold and I'm interested in buying.

BX05 KHM is VIN #0853 and used to be owned by Ross (inissor) on here. He sold it to Swallows Rest Car Sales (Shrewsbury) in mid December 2013. They kept it for a few months and as far as I know used it but put it up for sale in June 2014 asking for £9995, needless to say it didn't sell quickly and was still on ebay in October 2014 for the same price. I don't know whether it ever sold or whether they still have the car.

Here is a link to their ebay advert:

In Spring 15 I test drove it. Decent but not perfect. Drove ok for the auto version. Decent interior. Just mot my cup of tea in the end.

Thank you for the prompt replies. According to vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk the car was taxed and MoTeed in May this year. I saw the ad on Autotrader during August. Bookmarked said ad for reference. However by the time I had returned from holiday it had been removed. The asking price was somewhat less than Swallows Rest Car Sales (Shrewsbury). A mystery indeed. The area code in the advert was for Lydney, adjacent to the River Severn. Although Autotrader offer protected telephone numbers I would imagine the location to be more or less correct.

Anything particular you can recall? In the unlikely event the car does reappear for sale.
