Does anyone know- the last car off the assembly ine
What was the last 75/ZT to come off the assembly line - i assume in April 2005 - but does anyone know the details of the vehicle concerned. I notice an 06 75 on classic cars is being advertised as "one of last Rovers ever built"

However if anyone knows the whereabouts of the 5,000,000th Rover - I'd love to see that.

The 5,000,000th 75 was still in the small Longbridge museum when I did the tour at the end of 2012.
I don't think they offer the tour anymore as there is nothing left to tour!
