My 2 Rovers MOT

[montytom]

Last month I MOTD my Rover 75 launch car and it failed on a registration plate bulb then passed with no advisories then this morning.

I still have not had a call from the garage but checked on MOT history check and found it has passed with no advisories aswell.

 

Great cars Rovers and I feel im lucky to own such characterful cars.

Thanks Yes the photo was taken by the previous owners son who came to see the car at Longbridge last year. Strange to think it was snowing earlier in the morning

Do you fancy a six cylinder SD1 to add to the line up?

Nice subtle ZS over the road there.

Lovely Wedgwood dude.  

[Guest Breadvan72]

Is Wedgewood the 75's colour?

Is Wedgewood the 75's colour?

 

Yes.  Although there are two flavours of Wedgwood.  The cowley hue is softer

 

and the Longbridge shade is more electric.

 

Easy to spot the difference as all Cowley cars had black sills, the Longbridge variants are colour coded.

Thanks replied and if you sell it I wish you luck it's a lovely looking car

Lovely Wedgwood dude.

That tourer is ski blue I believe as it's darker than Wedgwood

Thanks I'm very happy with it

You're right.  I was wondering why the contrast was so stark between the two pictures!

I do like ski blue it's a nice colour.

The early Wedgwood with all the trinkets ie bullet badges mirrors etc make them look regal in my eyes
