That looks hideous, like a lovechild of an illicit mating of a ZT and a Vectra C :puke:

I wouldn't shed a tear to see that weighed in.

Brian :D

Oh my days what a monstrosity I wouldn’t mind breaking that, I could probably put it all back together with other parts and it would still look better than it started

Why don't they send them to Gaydon?

There are a lot of prototypes there already so a few more would not do any harm.

Except that the British Motor Museum at Gaydon is Ram Jam Full. I do wonder if they have separate storage facilities elsewhere, though. They do manage to rotate vehicles around sometimes and vehicles seem to go out on loan.
Several times I have seen the last 75 off the line there but never the first, even though they say they own it. The curator said it was out on loan but was not forthcoming who to.

At least it has a small bonnet line gap lol

Sorry guys, but you're all missing the point :duh:

It may not be as good looking as a 75 but it's an important piece of MG Rover history and shows where they may have been going, setting a new path away from the 'retro' idea.

Accept it for what it is, it'll certainly be a sad day if this and other prototypes get crushed.
