Note that this car's hazard/central locking switch has a black rather than wood effect escutcheon. Does that make it pre-production rather than "launch"?

Simon

Yes it is not 'Launch' it is PreProduction. The research i have done indicates it was built late 1998 or Jan 1999 and was owned by MG Rover Group for some time.

You are correct Norman it is a pre production car

Yes, the pre production hazard surrounds were moulded and sent to the factory for test fitting, as there wasn’t time to get them to timbalex for coating.

These were supposed to have been changed before sale, but as we all know, that didn’t happen!

There are a few other things as well that are different on pre launch cars

Do tell!:}

There are 3 things I seem to remember ;)

I dont know about pre launch cars but on pre production cars the black switch surround and the lack of a boot floor handle and something different about the boot plinth ?:}

If only the car was closer I would seriously consider it.
For the age it certainly looks okay.

Would be really interested to know the difference between pre production and launch cars.
