Default The 75 now a Cult Status ?

Interesting to see Ray Massey the Motormail editor of the Daily Mail saying the 75 now achieving cult status amongst it's fans, and proving to be a popular second hand purchase.

Well I love ' em

Had several 75/ZTs and admit to calling them a cult now and then.

Cult
a person or thing that is popular or fashionable among a particular group or section of society.
example: "the 75 and ZT has become a bit of a cult in the UK"

Well they are popular amongst the particular group that use this site.

I saw that article too. Pleasant surprise that what we know as quality is gaining appreciation.
Another definition of 'cult' is: Extravagant devotion to a cause or thing'. Ain't that the truth.

I would say based on the forum alone, the car achieved cult status nearly a decade ago, it's just now the average person is more likely to buy one cheap and have finally caught on.

Its also why you see such shockingly terrible and badly modified examples so much in last few years.
