Default Sunday night quiz question

Here is a picture of a nice Rover 75 in Wedgwood Blue.

Look at the date of the picture [arrowed] and answer this.

Why could you not buy a 75 exactly like the one shown during production at Cowley ??

The lower grill area is black rather than body coloured?

Wrong !!

Sorry all Cowley produced 75's had black sills, well, almost all, a small number were produced with body coloured sills, but not very many.

I hope you meant the lower bumper trim. The lower grill is always black on the 75.

Is it because it is a pre-project or pre production model. I know there is a good chance that I am wrong.
