Hi Mart.
The Facelift was not launched in Jan 2004 otherwise the first ones would have been 53 reg's not 04 reg's. My betting is that white one of Bob Collins didn't sell very easily so the car was stored for a while before being registered. That was after the dealer specced it up to make it easier to sell.

I thought Jan 2004 was the launch date hence why we have very few mk1 Rover 75 cars, Also Lewis do you know the mk1 to mk2 chassis number change over, i have heard its around chassis number 321???.

I wonder does any one have this info??

Well the 25, 45 and the 75 were all facelifted around the same time and the 45 press kit I have was released on the 20th April 2004. Hope this helps Mart.

Try Reebs or Duotone for the change over date.

Lewis found this mate

Rover 75. Feb 2004–5 (prod. unknown). 4-door saloon, 4-door LWB saloon, 5-door estate. F/F, 1794 cm³ petrol, 1951 cm³ diesel (4 cyl. DOHC), 1997, 2497 cm³ (V6 DOHC). Essentially carryover technology from Mk I with cosmetic facelift, while Project Drive eliminated certain parts deemed unnecessary to cut costs, which meant less refinement on some models. Never had its full run as MG Rover collapsed and the 75 found its rights sold to SAIC of China. V8 model introduced in 2004, covered separately. LWB model simply called Limousine, rather than Vanden Plas, for these final years.

Manufacturing location: Longbridge, England

Bar development and test cars. I have never seen a facelift 75 on a 53 plate. I wonder if it was launched on April 1st then?

Lewis 1/4/2004 Bobs is a mark 1 some 3 months after the launch of the mark 2??? This is very odd....PS I have seen a mark 2 on a 53 plate mate in silver that must have been a feb 2004 car?
