This must be the most basic Monogram 75 ever specified. Looks like it's Atmosphere Kinetic, to me, as it's certainly not a normal colour. Just a Classic, with nothing much other than air-con. Cloth manual trim, and wheel trims. Quite low miles, and tidy, but looks like the front bumper might be slightly scraped. Difficult to tell from low-res pics.

Interesting car, anyway!

The one and only Atmosphere CDTI Classic by the look of it http://www.mg-rover.info/monogram/atmosphere/75/overview.htm

Although this may seem a low spec, compare the interior to a modern car with black plastic everything and cheap hard plastics anywhere below shoulder level and you realise what a good spec this is. It may not have some of the nice toys but as cars reduce in price in real terms, the bean counters look to cut costs everywhere.
e.g. I had a Mercedes C class which at 8 years old had rust coming through the real wheel arches - a common fault apparently - but not one you see on our cars

I suppose it could have been even lower spec and not have air conditioning.

Some people just like a nice comfortable car and don't need all the unnecassary extras.
