It started from when my dad had a couple Rover 620's back in the 90's and early 2000's. My dad showed me the photos in the press when the 75 was first released in 1999, and also got me a die cast model of the 75 which I still have today (a long with 3 others of 75's and ZTs). So interest started from there. Then my dad bought his first 75 around 2006 which I found for him, and knew about the ZT's and quite liked them.
I then found my dad his second 75 in 2012 which I actually bought for him, which he still has today. That's when I joined the forum. Just over a year later I bought my ZT.
I had quite liked the ZT's for a long time, but after seeing they were available in the monogram colours I decided a ZT was definitely for me
Never got bored of owning ZT's since, after getting my typhoon resprayed I thought about buying something else as a daily, possibly a 3 series coupe, Jag S type or Audi but found the BMW's and Audi's to be a bit bland and boring on the inside compared to the ZT and I've always thought the 75 and ZT looked better all round than the Jag S or X type. And for the money, I'd always get a far better ZT or 75 everytime. Then saw Bob (flyingbanana) was selling redfive so bought that as my new daily, which will be going on the road once I've sold my 190 SE tourer
