Japanese prefer BMW, AUDI, Mercedes and Lexus as a status car.
Thus, almost Japanese do not know about the existence of rower 750.
Rover 75's and MG ZT's command higher prices in Japan but every one that I have seen at auction are 2.5L engined.

Did they ever bring any other engine variants to Japan?

I just imported a 1996 Rover 220 Turbo Coupe from Japan and here is a sticker that was on the back window.
