I have a Rover 75 diesel.
Has anyone used a 75 as a towcar.How did you rate it when towing.
I really like driving the old bus.It doesn't have a towbar at the moment so before I fit one just looking for a bit of feedback.

Saloon / estate, 114bhp or 129bhp.
Suspensions a bit soft but it depends what you plan on towing with it.

I have MG zt 134+/ ROVER 75 type, its a 2litre diesel which pulls our Elldis 462 Avante perfectly, never does less than 30 to the gallon often 35mpg, its getting on a bit now but its finding a better tow car to replace it, some times I forget the vans on the back!

Can't beat a BMW diesel engine, can't afford a BMW.
Rover 75 good for towing and luxury for general day to day travel.
Usually gets better than 40mpg certainly 35mpg when towing.
Tow bar is ok for up to 1000kg
My van is a five berth.
