Sounds as if someone bought it at an estate sale, had never seen a Rover before, and thinks this is the last one in existence. After all, vintage Jaguars are British and command a big buck. There's so much information left out of this ad. Someone did a nice job on that interior, though, I must say.

Had to sell my Rovers when I downsized to a place with no garage and not even a driveway. I have three Volvos from the 90s that I do all my wrenching on in the parking lot behind my house and other people's driveways. I am moving to Ohio to be near my son and granddaughters, am realizing a substantial nontaxable capital gain (I'm 67), and just received an unexpected inheritance of $20k. That car is about 70 miles from where I am right now, but there is no way I am going to put more money into a car than I could ever get out of it. Besides, all the "fun stuff" looks like it has been done. I am used to 2000TCs that still blow mouse turds from the left dash vent three years after you'd done everything possible to clean them out.
