When I did the model launch course in around 2003 I think I’m certain it was 1800 only, that may of changed afterwards? Although a ‘factory’ option they were converted after the car was built iirc but sold as an option as it was converted within Longbridge. Any cars converted after purchase would potentially look similar as a well known kit was used by Longbridge. They were an incredibly rare item and the dealer I worked at only ever sold one. There’s mention of lpg on one of the service sheets I think as the plugs were changed at different intervals.
I could be wrong of course as it was a long time ago....

'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle
