    especially the dashboard, especially for V8 models that are pretty rare. In Romania are some cars RHD, and the price is twice under his real price, for example a R75 diesel rhd full options is 800 euros. Same in England if u can find a LHD car? The car has european price or lower and the owner tries to sell it quickly? Why the coolest cars are so hard to find? :|

    I helped another member to find a V8 in the UK for Germany and I would say a LHD here is a very Rare Beast.

    However, as you already know the RHD cars in UK are about half the Price of LHD ones in France and Germany.

    Only big expense to register in EU Countries is replacement LHD Headlingts (Non Xenon about £400 a pair from Rimmer Bros) and a Certificate of Conformity avaialble on http://www.mgrccservices.com/

    If you get a RHD, you will need a tweed jacket and a flat cap to look like a proper English Gentleman!

    Hi Alex,
    Looks a very nice car - yes I think it is an SE as it has sunroof, Xenon Headlights, Apex wheels, TV, etc.
    Price also seems reasonable by European standards.
    Keep trying and good luck. Tony.

    Hello DEVYL,

    this car is located in Germany AFAIK. Unfortunately I am too far away to look at that car for you. But I would be able to talk to the owner by phone. This might help you as I am a German too. Just give me some questions that you would like to ask him. I'll then try to contact the owner.

    BTW. there is a black Rover 75V8 in Germany too. I already visited that car and it looks very well. The only thing is that the steering wheel is not in black oak anymore but instead lost its colour and shines in a green tone now. The owner of the car ensured that he would solve that problem if I buy the car. That car also has a LPG system in the boot.
    Here is a link to the car (german Mobile):

    I really hope this helps you a bit

    thanks, for the R75 V8, I don`t want a car with this engine on a LPG system , I prefer gas. As for the MG, ask him what is the condition of the car, if it is in a good condition , because to find parts for this car is almost impossible for me , here in Romania , I don`t know how to say exactly, the steering system clearlly must be in good condition, so suspension and especially does parts that could make noise when you are driving the car or take a bump or something , and because it has around 40.000 km , it should be in a perfect condition. Ask him especially about the car`s condition. If it`s ok, I`m going after her

    Ok, I'll try to phone the car dealer tomorrow morning. I hope he has time to answer my/your questions. Maybe he is also able to send more pictures of the car and also send me the VIN of the car. That might be useful for further researches - at least I hope so.

    Another thing I could try is to find someone in the German MG ROVER Forum that lives near Leipzig and could inspect the car by its own. But I fear that there is no one around Leipzig that knows much about that car. Anyway, it is a try. But first I'll to phone the car dealer and try to get your requested details.
