If still in business, I should take a small trip and see how they are doing, it is less than half hour drive if no traffic.

Why Dutch Rovers/ZT on Belgian plates? As petrol engines with more than 2litre capacity (like in Italy) you pay a lot of money to get it registered (the license plate is with the owner, not the car, so you fork out everytime you register car..., clever scheme) and road tax and insurance is horrendous due to it as well. Thus the 2.5KV6 was sold new in low numbers in Belgium (why do we run 3x 75s diesels, now you know).

Me and my son were looking for ours and it wasn't available on the secondhand market (or not the quality or price we wanted to pay

) in the last couple of years. In the Netherlands, roadtax is (was?) related to the weight of the vehicle, not capacity or power, so more KV6 2.5s were sold....., thus more Rovers/ZTs to our liking in the pond.
