15.015 miles showing on the clock and every indication that the figure is correct : DVLA records show that this Rover 25 covered fewer than 7.000 miles from its first MOT in 2007 to its last in 2011. And then there is the condition – remove the number plates and wave an aerosol of New Car Smell inside the car and no-one would be the wiser. Perhaps.
This Rover 25 Impression is one of the last of the line – production ceasing nine months after this car was first registered on 30th June 2004. Supplied new by Evans Halshaw in Reading, there are two stamps in the service book and it comes with its bookpack including handbook and a current V5C
Not a bad car, and - in fact - Britain’s best-selling car in April 2000, the Rover 25 suffered from lack of investment at cash-strapped Rover and then from lack of interest when the company was sold first, down the river and then to the Chinese.
Still, that was then, and this is now and what is on offer here is an automotive memento mori and not something you will see everyday. E-Types ? Common. Aston Martins ? Ten-a-penny. How many nearly new Rover 25 Impressions have you seen recently? And in the perfect colour, sporting the up-dated MG frontal styling, and improved interior. Did we mention the low mileage? What a combination.
If you didn’t buy one of these when they were new, shame on you. You can however, make up for that and buy the next best thing: this one. https://flic.kr/p/FSck6D
