100mm stretch Rover 75 (not a full limo)
Have a look at this car which has just appeared on Autotrader
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...ge/1?logcode=p It was sold recently on eBay and is a development car which was given a 100mm stretch rather than the 200mm on the full Limo. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rover-75-2-5-V...item2560abf7ae The car has no rear door pockets or a rear clock like the proper limousine. I have no interest in the car but its probably unique! |

I beleive this is what the Roewe 750 is based on a 100mm stretch, not the 200mm version, so i wouldnt be surprised if this is potentially a Roewe prototype that MG Rover produced to woe them!

It is quite special indeed. The whole dash is in Sandstone in stead of Black/Sandstone... Love that, I have to say....
And indeed the 100 mm stretched is the "same" car as the Roewe 750, as the MG 7 is the 75 as we know it here.

Think me & Mrs Jules saw that car in the flesh when we went to the Longbridge Showroon in 2008.
I remember the interior was much more colour co-ordinated. Although there was still a mixture of Sandstone and Cream which is a bit of a clash IMO On the same visit we saw the red 75 Coupe prototype.

That is rather stunning! I love this sort of thing, the escaped prototypes and the like. Do I win spotters points for noticing the front and rear seats don't match?

Also it looks like the standard 200mm stetch rear doors. This is a picture of a standard 200mm rear seats. Not sure about the clock in the rear central position, can't see any pictures.. Dave T Last edited by Duotone; 29th January 2011 at 07:00.. |

Macneilllie (Ian) went to see the car when it was for sale in Birmingham. It is definitely not a 'proper' limousine. No clock, no door bins, special 'one off' headlining, leather trimmed door grab handles, sprayed door pockets on the front doors with the finish wearing off, Chatsworth on the external panels but silver underneath. Lots of dings, a 'costalot' car.

More strange features noticed!
The drivers door pocket appears to be a different shape to the normal ones. Also the switch pack seems to be mounted on a stitched leather arm rest! |
