    Default Wanted! LHD Rover V8!

    Dear friends
    I have a friend who wants to buy a LHD Rover V8 for import to Sweden.
    Does anyone know if there is any LHD in UK?

    Best regards
    Hakan

    Hi Hakan.

    I will keep an eye out, but I doubt it.

    Hello Hakan,

    Does it need to be from the UK.
    There are some LHD Rovers and MG's out here.

    Netherlands is not the cheapest country though. There are certainly some in Germany and they mostly are LHD.

    check out www mobile de for example.

    If it is close to the Dutch border and you are serious about it I can maybe go and check it for you.

    Good luck hunting, Peter

    Hi Peter, I believe Hakan is just casting the net as wide as possible to help his friend find a Lhd V8 75.

    thanks for your offer help.

    it will be a waiting game Hakan, they will come up for sale, its just a matter of when and where. If your friend who wants one is patient, he will be rewarded in time with one!!

    Well I hope you are sitting down.

    I found a brand new Rover 75 sterling V8 in blue with beige leather.
    Serial number is 837 so one of the very last.

    Car is registered in the Netherlands and asking price is 49.000 incl. 19% Tax wich can be deducted on sale.

    There must be room to negotiate but these are original Rover dealer cars and the owner is not interrested in selling for a cheap price but you can always try.

    I can send some pictures if you want and are interrested. As long as you know that ZT V8's are going for 15K and ZT-T for 18K incl.tax.

    But at least i found one.
    There is rumour about a brand new Rover 75 Estate V8 somewhere, even rarer that is.

    And

    2005 Rover 75 Sedan
    65.000 km in gold and grey

    Looks fully optioned as well.

    Asking price is 32.500 and TAX is refundable.
    This price is to high I think and given the milage should be negotiable.

    Not sure I am allowed to post URL's but other wise PM me and i'll send you details.

    Regards, Peter

    How about a 135K/KM ZT-T V8 SE full optioned first owner LHD who is now wanting a Rover 75 Sterling Station
