Overview
What this generation is, and who it suits.
The Rover 75 was the marque's swansong — a retro-elegant executive saloon and tourer praised for ride comfort and cabin charm, powered by K-series fours, V6s and BMW-sourced diesels. It outclassed its company's fate.
As a modern classic it is beloved and affordable. K-series head-gasket history is the famous checkpoint (many are long since sorted); diesels are robust. Club support is excellent, making it one of the friendliest British classics to run.
