	The second hand value of Rover cars is going to collapse and the 75 is a nice car. Lots of opportunities ahead to get one cheap.

The 75 didn't interest me at all until the V8 came out, and it's not been a success. Why the hell would I want a FWD 75 when I could get a Mercedes or BMW? Or a 75/ZT-T estate when I could get a BMW V70. The V8 made the 75 interesting in the market.

I would be happy to have one parked next to my Merc.

From what I've read it's not that clear cut, either - quite a lot of re-engineering had to be done to make it RWD for the V8 models. I mean, it's not "largely BMW" like a BX is largely Peugeot 405 (or rather the other way around), which have interchangeable rear axles on the 4x4 model, interchangeable engines and so forth. I haven't compared boot floor heights yet, which would be the real giveaway (you make a FWD saloon you want to reclaim the space needed for the diff and driveshaft movement). The different in boot depth between a regular Jetta and a Jetta Syncro is something to marvel at. That could be the source of the re-engineering worries if there is a difference.

I suspect the re-engineering is in the engine bay largely - for a start, a longitudinal v8 and box is a lot longer than the transverse four... The boot floor's got plenty of space under it from what I recall.
