Is there a clear date and details of when the final R75/MG-ZT (or maybe something else...) came off the rolling production line at Longbridge and are there images?.
I'm guessing some vehicles will have been completed away from the production line and were parked-up in warehouses/runways etc. awaiting disposal by the receivers. |

I've been to Gaydon (BMM) 8 or 9 times over the last 3 years. The last 75 has always been there. The first I've never seen. I've asked the staff and they always say it's out on loan but never seem to know where.

You may already have seen this but following POL on 13 April on Sunday 14th there is the National 75 meet at Gaydon and car number 001 is said to be specially on display. Along with the chance to meet some key people involved with the 75.If you look at the events you will see the details.
