That’s what made me think my MG ZT may not have gone down that route as it, just has a signature of “Calam” I think (hRd to read) and date in the service book . The other Rover 75 is simply stamped “Phoenix”.
Maybe your right and mine was built for that purpose and never made it too launch.
I have found some dates written in “white pen” just like the video underneath, but again that may have just been production markings.
Thanks again interesting stuff.

Matt, my car is stamped in the handbook ‘MG Rover Group Ltd - Press Garage’
I’d be interested in finding out who was the first registered owner of my car, it was featured in WhatCar shortly after registration so it was definitely used by Longbridge for that purpose. I think the BX04 monogram Press Garage cars that were done in the lead up to the Facelift launch, were a last ditch attempt at driving sales prior to the collapse with a new revised look, hence why the cars were built close to SE specs with lots of options.
