How many Rover 75 V 8 and MG ZT 260 was built ?

How many LHD Rover 75 V8 was built?


I Have an LHD V8 - black - Its sekond time i have this car. In 2010 I imported it from Sweden to DK. Driving the car until 2013. Sold it to a man who now are 83 of age and bougth it back again days ago.
Having much fun again....

over 880 vin numbers have been issued .. for all 260's..


Not so many around and only a small number actually on the road in the UK Reckon there quite a few hiding in storage :D

Just the Rovers
 

There were 38 LHD Rover 75 V8's in total, including the 3 Tourers.
Originally destined country of export: Germany 12, Holland 11, Belgium 4, Sweden 4, Switzerland 3, Spain 2, France 1 and Italy 1.

Of those cars, the black saloons, excluding Black Olive, so just Pearl Black and Raven Black, were: Sweden 1 (#738), Germany 5 (#871, #864, #859, #857, #824) and France 1 (#847).. I think!

One Tourer, #849, was in Pearl Black and sent to Switzerland.

Which one is yours?

738
 

Nr. 738 are mine. Its Pearl Black with black Leather - its driven 126000 km.

Good to know you got it back. They are under-rated cars. A lot of information on this site and also www.two-sixties.co.uk

I have a very bad and old photo of it, "WUA - ***" ??. Could you post up some pictures maybe? Thanks.

Hi
Theres Photos on my homepage www.lynges-auto.dk

Makes me happy finding out the Swedish inventory has increased to 9 :cool2:

2004 pre-facelift:
1x saloon, automatic

2004 facelift:
2x saloons, manual
1x saloon, automatic
1x tourer, manual

2005:
2x saloons, manual
2x tourers, manual

(source: car.info)

What is that list, please? Not Rover 75 V8's obviously.

According to MGR's own data, there 887 VIN numbers known to have been used between 001 and 883 in total.
4 were duplicate in the sense that the last 3 digits were the same (004, 005,007 and 008), which is why it is 887 not 883! There could possibly have been more duplicates, but if so, none have survived.

The 'split' (theoretically) is:
MG ZT 260, 570
MG ZT-T 260, 150
Rover 75 V8 Saloon, 151
Rover 75 V8 Tourer, 16

Loads more information over on the 'Two-Sixties' Forum.
