Default The last Rover 75

Today I went to Warwick British Motor Museum. There are loads of Rovers and MGs there. One stuck out to me though. The last ever 75...

One of the staff members is a huge Rover fan and gave me and my dad the full tour. They’re restoring a prototype (not sure of its name but said CCV on a fake reg) as well as a 25, in the workshop.

When I went, they let me sit in it to have photos taken. Quite a good museum if you have not been. They have a work shop and the public can look down on them from the floor above

Is #1 still at the museum? I heard it was there but I asked the man who knew a thing or two about Rovers and he said he hadn’t seen it.
