Owned for the past year, royal blue (i think) 75 cdt con auto. Have made a few alterations since I got her, namely the ZT hairpins, ZT rear spoiler and a Synergy box.

Yeah a Blue one, Mine is a Midnight blue :)



I might delete all silver ones posted ;)

If you do that Kandyman then there will only be about 3 photo's left :laughing2:

That is a very nice looking motor ali355. The upgrades look fab. Is that a black badge on the front of the grill in place of the Rover one?

Lovely colour, so just to keep the kandyman happy another blue car :Santa3:
http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...16f30bc1d9.jpg

I have to put my hands up for that gaffe. Was spraying the silver innards of the grille in black, because I didnt like the way the silver plastic looked against the rest of the car when I got some over spray on the badge. I only realised after the paint had dried. So I thought the easiest way to fix it would be to spray the whole of the badge black.

The spoiler looks fantastic hmmmmmmmmmm have to get one.:Santa3:

It looks quite good. :)

That is a nice looking car ragitty, is it always that clean? :xmas-smiley-002:

Heres mine at the min :(

Sad looking picture :( hope you get it sorted soon :)

And one for comments please. Do the "lexus" style rear lights look all that bad? Should I wait for the MG7 ones? And should I go for the full size number plate? Answers on a postcard to.......well, here reallyhttp://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ons/icon11.gif.
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...arLights-1.jpg

Personally I think the MG7 ones look more suitable and deffo go for the "D"-shaped plates - SO much better ;)

Snapped one a couple of weeks back.

Interesting retro architecture in your pic - where is that?

Car looks good too!

[QUOTE=Kandyman;122912]A few pictures from John Phillips.


Thanks Kandyman :snowman4:

Number plate lots better and I like the lights too.

Thanks guys. I was just leaning towards the "D" plate myself, but your comments make me lean that little bit further. As for the lights, it looks like the jury will be out on that one for a while yet. Cheershttp://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ons/icon14.gif.

Place called Sandbanks in Poole. One of the most expensive places to buy a house in the world (I don't live there by the way, just near by). http://www.sandbankslife.co.uk/

Not too far away then! In fact I was often taken to the beach there as a kid - the Bournemouth Riviera ;)

well here,s mine not as immaculate as all yours but i only wash it once a month

In HUGE technicolour

Glad your handbrake works well :)

Cars looking nice chick :)

With the handbrake firmly on I trust?

EDIT: KANDYMAN BEAT ME TO IT AS USUAL

:drool4:

Wedgewood blue..........The only Colour a 75 Should be seen in :p:

I will post a Photo of mine once it is repaired :p:

Nice anglehttp://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ons/icon10.gif.

Nice colour:drool4:.
Nice idea....see abovehttp://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ons/icon12.gif.

I honestly don't think I've seen a bad photo yet. Or is that just because they all contain 75s and ZTshttp://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...cons/icon6.gif.

Thanks Kandy, that ws taken last summer, 2 days after my passenger wing mirror was snapped off hence I took the pic from the drivers side, it's now a slightly dirtier colour!

Hahaha, I always park and leave it in gear, just in case.....

:luvya: John Phillips....your car looks really nice inside, very tidy!, Scoot, were you abroad when you took that??, it's just that I spotted the sun out! lol

Hey wee man - No, that pic was taken on the sunny isle of bute!! Right next to my car was a beautiful big beach (which I considered driving onto cos it was deserted and the sand was quite compact (but I didn't want to risk it)), the sun was shining, the water was WARM, my geography isn't great but I think it's technically the atlantic ocean we were paddling in, as opposed to the clyde. Fabulous. That was last July.

Far too many clean cars here.......quickie of mine in dire need of a spruce up...

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...0ca7a04e03.jpg

Is that your's at the back Dave :laughing2::laughing2::laughing2:

You are a funny boy.......that old pile of you know what, is a LHD car that has sat in the car park for 2 years. Inside it's got all the bits to convert it to RHD.......please don't ask why.....:shrug::shrug::shrug:

And here we have a few rare pictures of castle courtyards ...
Obviously my 75 is ... well, it's visible on both pics. :D

When I get to a Club Meet - I think all us Wedgewoods should have a "Big" Collective Photo shot ;) :p:

Oooo pictures thread! :) Heres mine when we zipped upto the Nurburgring in August...

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...Mmarker001.jpg

and in keeping with Juergen, here's R40 in the same castle courtyard ;)

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...c82f98ccfd.jpg

Keeping in with the German look..........Although not as Glam as a Castle....

This is the "The Beast" outside our Guesthouse in Rothenburg in December - I think this is actually posted elsewhere on the site too :D

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...44267d6041.jpg

Ah, Carl Seen that Picture, one post for the Count of Two. :D:D

Don't I get the Post count out of Sympathy ??? I can't post a nice piccy thanks to Drunken Derek and I am feeling left out :p:

P.S. Some news on the Drunken Derek Front........Will post it in the other thread :D

Panoramic shot maybe?http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ons/icon12.gif

tried in vain to escape to normality and more storage capacity, but luckily looked at this and thus my £3 will not be wasted on mere idle chitchat...

And just to prove that R40 wasn't lonely in this famous courtyard. :)

Here's one I took a while back and forgot about

http://www.lightgraph.co.uk/x_rnd/PC020441_3.jpg

A few of mine, and soon to have chrome door finishers !

I also want to change the grill mesh at the front to something i can polish up.

Rob..
Fantastic looking car..
Have you fitted a new grill, the second picture seems to shows a silver grill,
and what has happened to your battery cover?

Dave T

Lovely looking car, the interior is excellent, and it all matches except the handbrake surround;) you could eat you dinner off of that engine, certainly is clean, you must be very proud to own her. well done Rob:grouphug:

I have not fitted a new grill was on when i had the car, and never had a battery cover can someone post a pic please ?

Alas i cannot get a wooden handbrake cover in the right colour - i did e mail the e bay company who have sold walnut ones and they said they had some light oak ones somewhere, but despite several e mails since no reply so i have given up - if someone knows any different please let me know.

You cannot get the other wooden extras such as electric window switch covers etc either so changing to walnut seems the only option and would then need to change the wheel.

Here you go Rob..

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l4...r/P7270590.jpg

You could go down the same road as myself and change all the wood for Burr Walnut..

It's the steering wheel that is the most difficult to find..

Dave T

Cheers Dave, I will look out for a battery cover and if i can ever get a steering wheel at a reasonable price would consider swopping to walnut as i had that in my previous conny

MG..ROVER!!photos at last guys!!
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/d...1/P1130233.jpg

BINGO!!!!!!....it works!!!
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/d...P1130229-1.jpg

Rob, What a lovely Motor, next time I am down Walsall way, I will keep an eye out........

Now, as embarrassing as this is.........I thought your Username was because you liked Extra Strong Mints............lol..........Didn't click its Robert backwards.............:o


Is my Car Burr Walnut? It appears Darker than yours and I do eventually want to have the Gear Knob, Handbrake Lever and Wood trimmed steering wheel.............:D
http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...8efc062ffa.jpg

Thanks Carl but its hard work keeping it clean in this weather.

Yours looks like Walnut to me , so you can get the added wooden bits when available to buy.

Hope to see you at the Midlands meet in Feb.

Had a chance to polish the car today so I thought I would take a few snaps to share with you...

Bet it takes forever to keep it looking that nice.

Very nice Andy. I actually managed to wash mine on Sunday and got a few pics......

Clean again, but for how long....:D:D:D

I hate driving after I've polished her. I live in an area of country lanes and potholes so she never stays clean for long!

Some may have seen this picture many months ago, elsewhere (the other side :(), but here goes again :lol:

My favourite colour on the 75 Majed, nice to see Samarkand sparkling again. :)

Thanks GG

Those are unuaual wheels there Gary. Are they Rover wheels?

Ive checked the how too's, had a play etc, but still cant work out how to post a photo on here ? anyone post a link so I can educate myself ?

To post an image:

[IMG ]http: //www.internet.com/ myimage.jpg[/IMG ]

Use the bits I've highlighted to wrap around the address for your image. Omit the spaces though - I had to leave them in otherwise you wouldn't see what was going on ;)

Yes they are. Got them off E.Bay listed as French spec, I will see if I have the part number around but I know it's on a sticker on the inside rim of the wheel.

THESE WHEELS WERE ONLY AVALABLE FROM ROVER IN FRANCE
THEY WERE NEVER AVALABLE FROM ROVER IN THE UK

Part No RRC003150MNH

Here's mine yesterday - filthy, and in Jon Lewis carpark Cribs Causeway. Taken in haste on cameraphone. But with a little photshop :smilie_re:

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...cbb567e3ea.jpg

Good Grief - IT WORKED !!!
 

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...cbb5866d68.jpg
Thats it for now

Good to see the you got the images to appear Frobs. Good looking photomanipulation too. Nice one. :)

Just glad it worked. I didnt pay too much attention to the photoshopping as it was only for the tiny image on my Avatar. But its not too bad to show the world. Its just amazing what you can do in very poor lighting conditions with a phone and a £45 peice of software !!

When I get chance, I'll have a crack at something a bit more pro looking with a £150 camera and a bit more time.

Your front tyre looks somewhat flat in that pic Frobs ;)

Well I am afer a new set of fronts in about a month ;). But this is the raw image (Notice the deserted area of the carpark I managed to find - tee hee

hope this works,
there is some thing im not doing right

That link took me to a picture of the Eiffel Tower (??????)

Only joking ;)







It was a pic of the Statue of Liberty.....I mean 75 Tourer :)

Kevin, I think you may have clicked on the "Insert Hyperlink" button rather than the "Insert Image" button when you created that post.

Edit your own post and change the [URL ] ... [/URL] parts to [IMG ] ... [/IMG ] instead (omitting the spaces and putting your image location inbetween the two).

Hope that helps :)

Come on all you new members, lets see a picture of your car :)

This is my ZT-T just washed and polished.

Pictures of my MG ZT 135+ CDTi
 

Seeing as it was a lovely bright day I thought I would take some pictures of my new car and show her off...

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...0/DSC01533.jpg


Work Done so far:

Fix boot leak
Fit Synergy 2

Work to do:

Referb the alloys
If I can find one fit the larger spoiler


That will be it as I like the car as standard.

Yet another very smart ZT :)

Thank you!

And all for just £170.00 more than the fleet company wanted for for my company Ford Mondeo LX TDCi 130 with 108,000 miles on - (MG has 54,000)!

Justin

Sounds good but I can't see the pictures. Is that just me?

I can see it ok!

Working OK Justin Here.

Looks like it's just you then - is your monitor switched on ? :getmecoat:

Been busy cleaning today so I took a pic of the 75 and the Tomcat - not often they're both spotless at the same time!!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...DSCF0646-1.jpg

Hi Eddy,

Welcome to the forms.

Not to keen on the 18" you have linked to, try looking for some MG ZT 18" wheels.

Below is a picture of mine with ZT 18" on.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...5/DSC00626.jpg


Oh and please don't post dirty pictures again.............. yes i mean the dirty car try giving it a wash next time ;)


Welcome :D

[QUOTE=Tim_Burgess;147612]Been busy cleaning today so I took a pic of the 75 and the Tomcat - not often they're both spotless at the same time!!


That's a nice silvered lower grille you got there Tim - in fact it's quite similar to mine!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ty/Chrome4.jpg

Trying again as my Photo wouldnt upload !!

Taken today through the Bedroom Window:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...c/100_0486.jpg

Thanks TF, I did this to my previous 75:

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...cture1028a.jpg

I think the silver and/or woven stainless works well on the darker colours. Did yours have the plastic central grille originally, or just the mesh?

My New Rover 75 Con SE Tourer
 

Just picked her up on Saturday, so in time on tradition on Sunday I gave her a wash n wax and clean inside to my standard:p:

So here are a few pix of her:

Hope that works ok,

Let me know what you think...

Carl

Great colour :D

yea you car looks realy good with them, would love to have those:p: but i dont think ill find them here, near my country.
http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...cons/icon9.gif i guess only way is to order, any links to give?

Hi Eddy,

Where abouts are you ?

Update your profile with your car and location :)

I got mine of EBay about 2 years ago, EBay is still the best place to get them cheap.

Mine had exactly what you see - wire 'fence' type mesh - just sprayed it silver along with the spotlamp surrounds and then added the extra chrome trim along the bottom of the spoiler and around the centre grille opening.

Got round to washing my beloved today.. ta da!

First Wash & Polish
 

Having spent time today working on "My Beauty" I thought I would get some opinions from the experts!

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...b119846082.jpg

She looks good fella, my "Honey" needs a wash etc...Yesterday me and a mate were loading the trailer with horse muck, tailgate was open as we were listening to the Villa/ Arsenal match and my mate Tibo sent a shovel full right into the load space. He is a Gooner " even though he is French" however this was before Villa were 1 goal up. It chuffing stank and so did the the horse muck lol.

Cheers
Tony

Thanks for that. I still have some way to go to get the REAL shine that many seem to get but I will keep at it.
I don't like to get into talking footy at the moment, too embarrassing being a Ram!! :envy:

This ones a 2001 and has got see through windows!
I know the next two pictures are not of Rovers [always dreamed of having one in those days] but I thought you might like to see how clean they are.
Fifteen coats of lacquer to fill in the ridges of the artwork made it look pretty clean! http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...3668a0d96e.jpg

Sorry left out my dream motor http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...6df743cced.jpg

Very nice too, 15 coats of lacquer, cool. I have possibly got 15 coats in my wardrobe but a long way to go on the car!!! :)

Impressive paint job on the back of the Sunbeam I suppose, if you like that sort of thing, - but you would have thought they'd have got the easiest part of the job right and got the stripes straight!

Why do i only get this? i am doing the same thing as on other sites. If i use your upload system i just a get a red cross.:confused:

Hi Peo and welcome to the club and forum, if you would like to post a bigger pic please follow the instructions in this thread:-

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ead.php?t=5899

have fun. :)

Got a family gathering together couple of years back to take this;

Our Beloved 600 Ti
Father's 600 GSDi (now my sister's)
Mrs Jules Sterling Coupe KV6
My 820 Vitesse

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...7f9fda16f3.jpg

What a collection!! Wonderful. Is the Coupe Nightfire Red Jules?

Yes Colin Nightfire
Only had 32K on when we sold.
It went up to Scotland.
I've mentioned before that the 800 Coupes were beautifully made(far more quality control than the saloons & fastbacks.

Used to love the old big 800's................until the 75 came out of course:D

i am sure i read that the 800 coupes were handbuilt on a seperate line for quality reasons. although i could be mistaken!!

Yes I read each Coupe was built to order.;)

My old 220SDi was Nightfire, as is my dad's 600. Lovely colour!
I almost had a BRG 820 Fastback once but SWMBO said it was too long and she wouldn't be able to maneouvre it in parking situations. I can't remember what I ended up with at the time.:(

:bowdown: 800's were lovely!, I remember phoning a garage in Rutherglen (about an hour away) to say I was coming up, got there and it was sat outside, lovely white saloon with alloys, leather...the works!, went inside to see sales guy only to be told....it's just been sold!, ended up with a Granada :sissy:

Bad luck, but it could have been a helluva lot worse than a Granada.;)

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...98409c63bc.jpg

Well my 190 has finally made it's last journey.......:mad::mad::mad::mad:
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

What's the story there then, Greeners?

6 year old MGZT 190's are worth more in bits then as whole cars.........if fuel and VED increases carry on, this will become more common.....

I thought you must have parked in Tipton.................lol............(sorry Tiptonites, just kidding :D)

Whilst I can see the commercial sense in this it just makes me want to weep.:mad::mad:

thats a sad sight too see :sad3:

I agree

If that was a similar age Triumph Dolomite shell there would be masses of rust holes!!
Looks a very clean shell David :eek:


Just thought David.......... can you take some shots of the Plenum area and other Nooks we can't normally see???

It is such a shame to see a car in it's final form like this with no damage or rust. The big question is, is the "break" going to realise your recouping more than selling it as a whole?;)

Even considering the amount of work involved in breaking it?

And tell me Greeners, was there actually anything wrong with the car before you tore it apart?

Nothing wrong with it, it drove beautifully, but if you start adding up the cost of a set of belts, clutch and a few other jobs that were coming up, plus the huge rise in fuel, the economics just don't make sense.

Trust me, if you ask Les or Kevin at SMC it wasn't taken lightly.......

And it comes to bits very easily........

is it anthracite or black? (just want to get an idea if mine will look like that again if it ever gets polished!)

If you are asking about mine its Royal Blue! The clue is in the sig;)

oops - ah well.... (sorry - but I have my browser set so I dont see all that fluffy signature stuff as it makes the strings too long and boring!:D which just goes to show that our individual views of the world are all very subjective)

Well I still hope mine looks like that when its polished, anyway.
