National Club Meet for the 25th Anniversary of the Rover 75 Gaydon 14th April 2024
 
Announcing the Owners Club National Meet to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of the Rover 75
on Sunday 14th April 2024



The Club's 1st National Meet of the year will be held on
Sunday 14th April 2024
at
The British Motor Museum
Banbury Road
Gaydon
Warwickshire
CV35 0BJ

Between 10am and 5pm



To mark the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Rover 75, the club's next national event
will be a combined weekend celebration following on from the Pride Of Longbridge Rally the day before
at Cofton Park where we will have a club parking area for members.

Gaydon Motor Museum holds a particular significance for the 75 and ZT Owners Club for two very important reasons;
firstly in terms of club organised events, it is where it all started for us back in 2006
with our inaugural meet which was attended by 100 cars, then our next visit back in 2010 topped that attracting 117 in total,
followed by our third visit ten years ago to mark the then 15th anniversary of the Launch of the 75 where we topped our record with 139 cars.


Secondly, as many of you will know, the museum at Gaydon houses the very first full production Rover 75
to roll off the line: VIN 100001 a Dealer Launch specification model no less,
so what better way to celebrate than to hold our event at it's current home.

Looking at the build record for # 10001, what makes this even more special
is the fact that it came off the production line at 10:28:29 on 12th April 1999,
so our event is 25 years almost to the day!

https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...6f6294967d.jpg

As part of the club's National, we are looking to re-unite as many member owned Dealer Launch Cars,
and Pre-Launch early Rover 75's as we can in one place to be arranged in a display.

The museum has agreed to bring out from long term storage one of their two Rover 75s and display it for us inside our own area of the building.


Quite apart from our club area, the museum contains hundreds of pristine examples
of automotive history including a Thunderbirds Pink Rolls Royce and of course the very last production
Rover 75 to roll off the line, hand assembled by a small team.

Once again, we will be presenting the annual Gryphon Award
to the best car at the show as voted by you the members on the day

25 Years Ago


To mark this special anniversary, the club has invited
several original Rover Group key personnel to talk about the development and production of the R40.

We will have a function room set aside in the main building where you can meet and question
the key people responsible for getting our cars into production.
Confirmed are the following:

https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...9141527ea4.jpg

https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...6a8ca2de6b.jpg

We hope with your support, to make this the club's biggest and best National weekend ever
marking the 25th anniversary of the car's launch in style and with pride.



The cost for car club members to enter the museum on the Sunday National is £12.00 per person
which is payable on the day directly to the museum's pay desk (All of that fee goes straight to the museum, and not the club).

However, as we have to cover the entry fee costs for our special guest speakers
and the not insignificant charge to have the museums Rover 75 brought out,
we are asking for a token charge of £4.00 per car to attend the meet , payable to the club at our registration Gazebo on arrival.

That makes the combined cost for attending the National meet
including museum entry with access to the Rover special guest speakers and The museums 75
a total of £16.00 split across the two payments.

John Robins 13th January 2024 18:59

I remember that cold , windy January day in 2006 very well . there seemed to be a lot of cars but none in Lagoon and my Tourer caused some interest sadly I've sold the Rover due to ill heath after more than 18yrs . I don't think I could persuade my wife to drive me there in here Fiat 500 convertible !
John .

Matt_75 14th January 2024 09:29

Please put us down for both PoL and the National Club Meet. I'd like to get both 75s there, but it might just be my BRG example.

Thank you!

NickDunning 14th January 2024 13:35

In all likelyhood me for both days Paul.

I've just added the event to the RSR & JRC Events Listing.

Will be attending the Gaydon meeting on the Sunday. Can not get to the POL as going to a 50th birthday party on the Saturday. Could Reebs give me a message on here as I can not pay my subs for the year. Tried that idiot PayPal and so convoluted gave up in the end..

FrattonEnder 30th January 2024 15:04

Count me in for the National at Gaydon please.



Can't do PoL. Although Pompey are playing Bolton, I'm not like Lagetha and using that as an excuse - it's my grand-daughter's birthday party. Miss that at my peril!


Thanks

Hopefully this is posted in the best place,

As we will be attending both POL and the national at gaydon, we would like to offer those attending the national at gaydon on the 14th the opportunity to purchase one or more of our replica umbrellas.

We have been selling these for a little while and have had many good reviews. We make replica Rover items, mainly items that are difficult or impossible to find these days. We do this as a hobby around family and work commitments.

As we will be accepting cash on the day they will be £30 (usually £40) due to postage and packaging costs).

If you are interested in one or more, please send me a message with your request of umbrella colour and text to be on the umbrella.

Below are the designs and finished items.
Options available:
Umbrella colours

Burgundy
Navy blue
Green

Text (in white)
Rover 75
Rover 45
Rover 25
Rover
Other text options may be available upon request.
Diameter of canvas is 96cm
with wooden J handle and black jewel push button for auto opening.


The closing date for submitting orders will be the 16th of March to allow us plenty of time to prepare them for the day.
More images can be found on our Facebook page - a class of its own -

Thanks
Rob

At POL there will be stewards to guide you in. You will possibly need a location number. These will be issued nearer the day. You will need to print them off. Keep an eye on the forum for more information.

A t Gaydon no doubt we will have a few volunteer members to guide you in to the allocated parking.

Hi Hans-Peter. My son lives in Troisdorf. He has been in Germany since he was 18, now 57. It would be nice to meet you at the Gaydon Museum if you are going there. I can not make it to POL. Perhaps I may meet you at Gaydon.

red_rover 8th March 2024 15:12

I feel like it's the time we put a bit of pressure on Gaydon to place back the first 75 on display, and in the main museum arena. I find it irritating that it was replaced by a Cortina and a Reliant Robin/Regal in the cars through the ages stand. Combined with the sacrilege of storing the last Rover up upstairs above the Jaguar heritage collection.

starbug2 15th March 2024 09:47

Possible problem Bev is having problems and may not be able to drive the 75 and given i will have a arm in a sling and unable to drive as just after a operation .. we may need to bring our MG ZS AUTOMACTIC which bev will be able to drive so only way we can come may be in our ZS but i hope time yet for bev to recover to be able .. i guess like BOB if the 75 was automatic things would be different.

i don't think a option .. so i hope Bev will be OK to drive but its currently a worry , we are due to be taking the F to Austin garages today but Bev is now saying not able to drive the F and i'll have to .. :duh: its pre Operation so it should be possible :getmecoat: only driven a manual once in the last 3 months . wish me luck

In recent years we had had to have a number or a letter. I’ll find out from upstairs.

Pete 27th March 2024 21:24

Regarding Pride of Longbridge, we are awaiting the details of the area we will be allocated. Gemma organises the whole thing, which is no mean feat, and as a result it does take a bit of a while to calculate everyone's areas and get round telling them where they will be. At present we know we will be required to enter via Gate 2, Lickey Hill Rd, and as soon as I get more info I will relay it to you all here.

Thanks, I'd seen the activity in the group on Facebook but thought I would ask for clarification! First time so I'm looking for some good Inspiration on some nicer condition ZTTs and have a good chat to other owners! :D

Not for the first time, it's about time they moved it to later in the year, I know it's held on the date for a reason, but it's a pain with the weather.

scoubix 4th April 2024 15:35

Well I'm glad we still have the Sunday event happening at Gaydon, but given how far I come from and with ferry and hotels already booked, I now need to find something else to do on Saturday...

Pim 4th April 2024 15:56

Hi guys,

Thomas and I planned to come over from the Netherlands but just for only the Sunday that is a bit too much.
So we cancelled our trip; such a shame.

Like yourself and others i've booked hotels and was travelling down on Friday.
Have you ever been to Coventry Transport museum?

POL cancelled is bad news, but I’ll still go to Gayton on Sunday. :(

I visited the Coventry Transport Museum years ago and it was excellent, particularly the presentation featuring the car holding the land speed record at the time.

If you prefer to be closer to Gaydon for Sunday, I highly recommend a tour of the Cotswolds if you haven't done it already. Chipping Campden, Broadway, Bourton on the Hill, Stow on the Wold and Moreton in Marsh are all delightful provided it isn't raining! :D

daveconnolly 4th April 2024 19:20

Disappointed but these things happen. I have booked a air b&b for Sat night ..so as I'm coming from the North east may do a detour on Saturday and call in to the Crich tram museum on way down as haven't been there yet. Or maybe the great British car journey at Ambergate. .the Coventry motor museum is well worth calling in as it's just up the road from Gaydon and that would fill Saturday in. I was there last year. The other place in the area .if you can get booked in is the Morgan factory tour ..idid both of these last year. The morgan factory is well worth it..hope this helps if anyone has booked hotels to fill in Saturday. Looking forward to Gaydon on Sunday. Is anyone else going from the North East. Maybe meet up early sat morning and go down together

Zircon 4th April 2024 21:54

Hello Paul and everyone,

Very disappointing about Pride of Longbridge's cancellation - but given the state of the water table everywhere, not a surprise. I drove past Worcestershire County Cricket ground on Saturday and it was a lake!

I couldn't have made both days so my decision has been much easier of course - please add me to the list for Gaydon��. It will be my first time back there since my first-ever national meet in 2010 - so, very much looking forward to seeing everyone - it will be the exact 24th anniversary of Zircon's registration!

All the best,

Nicholas/Zircon

EELightning 4th April 2024 22:19

For those looking for something to do on the Saturday, the Rover 120 and MG 100 anniversary clubs have organised an event with the Great British Car Journey.

Hi Nicolas, I know you love doing the Cowley Convoy to PoL and it’s sad news that the Saturday has had to be called off due to the weather’s effect on Cofton Park, but I look forward to catching up with you at the National on Sunday. Again thanks for letting us know you’re coming :sunny:

POL is a great shame but we have had a lot of rain in the midlands of late . i hope Bev will be ok to bring our 75 to Gaydon, if not we will bring our ZS .. either way i won't be driving as just after a operation .. i'm about 40/45 mins from Gaydon

Hi Paul, Thank you so much - it will be great to catch up with you too. The chance to say hello to to Richard Woolley would be great too!
In fact, Tanya Field wasn't able to arrange a Cowley Convoy this year - may be something to look forward to in a drier year����.
