75 V8 Tourer development car, now owned by me
Adding my own car to this thread.
As of two weeks ago, I became the owner of a very particular ZT-T V8, #190. This car was built as an MG on January 2004 and was registered as BU53RXR with MGR in Longbridge. It features the same auto transmission as the 75 V8, which was only announced at the Geneva show in March 2004. The car features many other odd bits including walnut dash and trim and Rover-branded sill plates. It had a Rover steering wheel which the 1st owner after MGR changed to a MG one. It also had a Rover badge and boot plinth which was changed for a MG one just before that 2nd owner took delivery of the car in 2006. It also has partial chrome finishers around the rear windows, as Rover tourers do, yet these do not extend to the door windows. It also sits on 17" Mirage wheels which were fitted at the factory, while being only available on ZT 120s, several other V8 development cars used the same wheels. As well as being the 1st full production LHD ZTT V8, it is also one of the 75 V8 Tourer development cars, the only one still around, and the only known ZTT V8 with auto transmission.

I was in Birmingham on Sunday, and after chatting to a lovely chap on the gate at Longbridge about the factory, the past and the future, I mentioned the ZT prototype Fire Car... so he showed it to me. Sadly it's not in the state it was last time I saw it. The Rexton was next to it.

From what I understand there's an awful lot of these cars sitting around the facility now.

Andy, you must have mistaken the 7 for a 1 (T901ABD comes us as Blue).
T907ABD, it seems the Red 75 is registered as Red, MOT expired 18th October 2010. Last edited by Dallas; 6th February 2017 at 21:49.. |
