my rover 75

therock2009 · 26th September 2009, 18:39

I have just got myself 2 weeks ago, a 75 2.0 v6 club 2004 with only 10164 on the clock. Having looked through the log book a good start!!the first registed keeper for 12 months was mg rover group, Company vehicle control, PO box 41 longbridge birmingham birmingham b31 2tb . does this mean it was sitting about a longbridge for months. it is a 04 plate and looking on wisebuyer guides they stopped making the club in 2003

Is the first letter of the number plate 'B' by any chance?

therock2009 · 26th September 2009, 18:48

yes it is
thanks

MG Rover group cars all had number plates beginning with 'B' and in some cases 'K'
My Dad's ZT-T for instance is 'BK54 MOA'

therock2009 · 27th September 2009, 21:36

The Club model was produced through most of 2003 and there were some pre-

facelift 75's that did not leave Longbridge until early 2004.

And yes it could have sitting around in Longbridge, pre-registered but unused.

One or two of our members have 2004 registered pre-facelift models.

The facelift model started leaving Longbridge after the Christmas/New year

2003/2004 holiday.

Special staff being drafted in to produce the facelift model over the holiday..

Yes it is a mk1 pre face lift model

There we go, living proof that the 2 Ltr V6 was still being fitted to the 75 and continued to be offered in the facelift series, if you knew where to look for it that is.
