75 and ZT mk 3
As the facelifted 75 and ZT is now three years old, what would you do if you were manaufacturing the car now to facelift it again/ freshen it up for today's market?
I will offer the following up as proposals and would welcome your own ball-gazing thoughts....then maybe someone could photoshop what we come up with!?
Ladies and gentlemen, your suggestions, please..... Steve |
I'd like to see a body shell in the style of the original ZA/ZB Magnettes, a bit like the way the 75 was evolved from the original 75.
I looked at a new Rolls Royce this morning when I was leaving the hotel in Dubai, and it struck me that the new 75 could follow a similar theme based on the original P5B coupe with a nice upright grille and that sloping rear boot with smaller tail lights that remind me so much of the 50/60s Rolls Royce and Rover P4 and P5. |
Ideas for the Mk3...mmmm...let's see??
I know, reverse all the 'Korean' styling introduced on the Mk2 and make it look like the Mk1 again. (I'm now going to hide under my stairs for a short while....) |
if they could just redesign all the newbie panels to the same standard of the original that would be a start. and take those big letters off the boot. I keep trying to convince myself its sensible to go for a mk2 tourer but everytime I look at one, I know I'm spiritually better off with the more holistic original

Either that or a higher spec model of similar vintage to mine, but it doesn't seem sensible to buy a car with a higher mileage than the one I've already got. (it was dark and cold under my stairs so, sorry guys, I'm back ;)) |
Issue you with a couple of goldfish that you can place under your ECU, this would then give your plenum (not) drain a reason for existing :lol:
|
I would make it look exactly like the original and call it the Retro 75. Bet it would sell like hot cakes.

I would choose the Mk2 Premium bumper on a ZT and remake all the body pannels in aluminium and have tighter fitting tolerances. I would also fully leather upholster the interior (door cards, centre console and dash). Then I'd find a better V8 than the Ford Mustang one and supercharge it, perhaps mate it with an autobox capable of transfering the power. Then I'd..... oh wait, hang on... I think I'd better stop now. Several apple carts have just been upset in the wake of what I've just said....... :o
..... I'll get me coat. :getmecoat: |
