Default My last Tourer has been sold.

I have sold my last Tourer, which was actually the first 75 Tourer I bought. Have owned it for over 5 years I think.
That now leaves me with the ZT190 as my only British car. That also is on very borrowed time.
Will be the end of an era for me as I have had British cars predominantly for most of my driving life.
1962 Wolseley 6/110
1975 Morris Marina 1750 (Australian spec)
1979 Austin Allegro
Triumphs - mostly 2000/2500 in Mk1 and 2, Heralds, Toledo.
Rover - P6B, a few 75’s, a 416 Tourer
MG ZT190.
I have owned a couple of Datsun (Nissan) cars, and a Peugoet 504.
Not forgetting my first ever car which was a 1959 Volkswagen Beetle.

Have moved over to Mercedes now pretty much. With a BMW thrown in for variance!

I certainly missed driving a 75 only having access to the wife's Galaxy for the better part of two years

Everytime I passed one reminded me how much I missed mine and wished I had one again.

Driving this one for the first time did put a big grin on my face!

So enjoy for as long as you can!

For my sins, there's a 330d of the same era on my driveway - the M57 engine really is a peach, and would have been fantastic in the 75 / ZT.

The rest of the car is falling apart, but at nearly 300,000 miles the engine is still absolutely spot on.
