Thats alovely looking 75 you have there Simonmost jealous. I would never tire seeing a 75 parked up.They really dont look like a car that has been on the road 14/15 years. Great designs age well and the 75 certainly does

Yes, it's a design classic! Looks great from all angles :) No need to be jealous though, we all have them to admire ;)

Originally set out to buy a ZT, had a go at buying three. An 03 ZT 1.8T in X-Power grey (someone now owns that on here) then I made an offer on a lovely ZT V6 again in X-Power grey, but for some reason hesitated and so it sold to someone else. Then I made an offer on a Royal blue ZT CDTi but the seller wouldn't budge! Losing patience I put an offer for this Rover thinking the seller wouldn't accept.. and he did! Not what I originally set out to buy, but whats meant to be... etc :)

This picture proves that the 75 is one of the nicest looking cars on the road.A true classic if ever there was.
Just Gorgeous:drool4:

The MG only lives on because the bits left from the end of 75 production went on the road as an MG:D:D
There is so much 75 in the MG that's why it's liked so much.:p::D

Irrespective of the badge, that is a lovely looking motor. In rover or mg guise they look great.

It's been going very well and gets a regular thrashing (pulls like a train!) I have a 75 club se+ tourer 18t for day to day use same plate and colour as your 75 and the two cars couldn't be more different!
