Most of them could have ended up at this secret location scrapyard.

Pictures from an old Auto Express.

In the original picture you can make out a white 75.

In the text it says that some of the 75's only had 500 miles on the clock.

Not much of a secret location, it was Gaydon, next to the test track. It is still used by Landrover for their old development vehicles before they get scrapped, clearly seen on Google earth between the Heritage and the test track high speed loop.

We have been busy sourcing parts and are sorting out the refurbishment schedule. Great to see the interest in OVP, it hasn't been forgotten.

Whereabouts do you live? I would try AE Wilcox, Wickwar S.Glos. GL12 8NG 01454 294213. Speak to Tim Wilcox and say I recommended you.

You could try SMG in Bristol but their prices are on a different planet to most other dealers. I haven't had any personal dealings with them.

SMC in Slough (I think) are also worth a Try.

75s and ZTs were still getting registered up to 08 plate, even though MGR went down on '05 so the cars are out there.

Good luck with your search, they are fantastic cars, you won't regret it.

Hi Julia , If you've got a plate with 55 on, it doesn't really matter what year the car is , so just searching for a nice car may make it a little easier
