My good lady always fancied a Rover 75 and with me liking the KV6 engine we set about trying to find a suitable vehicle so that we could begin a new project.

We surfed Ebay for a little while and found a V plate 2.0 KV6 based in Bradford,which for some reason had cut out on a motorway journey and failed to restart.

Seems like an ideal candidate to receive some of Lates600's tlc.Some of the issues we discussed were quick fix or complex issues ? Did the client who sold the vehicle tell us all they knew ?

I guess we all need to be aware that buying a vehicle especially from E-bay can have some expensive pitfalls but we did base this project on worse case scenario that it can be repaired and back on the road within a reasonable budget as long as the vehicle described accurately.

Over the next couple of weeks,when time allows I will let you into the projects details, very poorly looking engine photos, a list of faults nearly as long as my arm.The end result of a few hours here and there is one happy lady.I just need to show my good lady how to put some fuel in it now !

Please revisit this page later to see the story unfold.
