There used to be one about 4 miles from the Longbridge factory right next to junction 1 of the M42 motorway. I saw it twice and thought man that looks looks the dogs with serpents etc.

That was until meeting the Yellow peril, the only one i have ever saw in the "tin" until we gained the ownership of the primrose diesel.For the guy who asked the question "how rare are they on this subject" here are the production numbers

580 in total made of primrose yellow rover 75's all Oxford built cars, no Longbridge ones

400 were exported in left hand drive
180 were British home market right hand drive

the diesel count is only 29 diesel rover 75 primroses ever built for both markets, This next section cannot be confirmed though but rumered to be correct.

20 Primrose diesels were export models
only 9 Primrose diesel models for the British home markets.

So the diesel version are the rarest, but overall all primrose yellows car are like striking gold in finds. I placed onto this site only a couple of weeks ago about who owns rover 75's in primrose yellow and the whole response was just perils and mine (shame).

I think after nearly 10 years and the scrappage scheme and wear and tear and also accident damage ones i reckon the law of averages on 180 British car survival rates would be around "85-90" Primrose yellow rover 75's left to purchase at the very most.

I hope this helps, I have been looking for 3 years to find another primrose diesel and never found one, it took me two years to find a primrose yellow car and then i landed on my diesel one, bought it straight away over the phone and went over to Northern Ireland to bring it home to England where it was made. Up to this point and since i keep looking to no avail , never found another diesel one since before my find or afterwards.
