Congratulations on the site. I confess .org is a great site but with many models not sold in Oz it's a bit crowded for me at times. The previous model Rover sold on Oz before the 75 was released here in 2001 was the 827 in 1989.
I've owned a few Rovers. My first car, bought in 1964, was a 1951 Rover 74, which I had for 2 or 3 years, and I've had a 1965 2000 P6 and and 1976 V8 P6B
(boy, how the V8 ate the juice but a good car). Wasn't a fan of the "Ronda" cars although Honda certainly produce some nice cars today, but the 75 looked to me the genuine article. Didn't think I could afford one for a few years, but earlier this year I picked up a 2002 75 KV6 Tourer with low kms at a low price for such a fine car. Best car I've ever had. Economy is not so great in the city but on a country run the economy exceeds 30mpg (UK).
Again thanks for your great work which has been invaluable to many of us. The classic car deserves it's own site and we can be nice to the ZT as well.
