18 years in production, in one form or another...that's pretty resilient...
Though as far as we're concerned, the 75 died in 2005.

You know what i actually like that... the outside anyway, the inside i'd revert back to a R75/ZT but that outer body, rear lights etc looks really good!

Bet the door cards dont fall off all the time either!

It is indeed a pity but not unexpected TBH.
The worry I have with China is their back up for spares, certainly in Electronics spares stop when production stops and this may happen with cars. Who knows if customers will be left in the lurch when the MG3 is replaced in 2018 for instance. I also believe that Mat is now having issues in obtaining parts that were destined for the MG7 production to keep our cars on the road.

I guess as with all cars it was going to happen. It shows though that the design was certainly unique and could hold its own over this long period, such was the style and look of the car. I agree the interior had lost the old rover style charm, now looking like any car interior.

I wonder what you got for your £30k in the top of the range model?
