How many 75's left EUROPE

Azur · 7th October 2021, 15:06

Did some local research in the official Dutch car database, currently only 1422 75's left in Holland. Now with this international club, we should be able to get a proper overview how many currently left in other countries....so...I am curious what the total numbers are in Europe...members abroad: can you help? And, yes for the UK please the proper numbers too

UK, 13564 R75's, ( https://www.carlogbook.co.uk/rover/75/)
NETHERLANDS, 1422 R75's (Saloon 1233, Tourer 159, Unregistered 30).
FRANCE
FINLAND 297 R75's, 19 MG-ZT/MG-ZT-T
GERMANY
SPAIN
ITALY
SWEDEN 500 (estimate)

CANADA 6 (estimate)
AUSTRALIA 300 (estimate)

..............

Cheers

If you have a calculator this will give you a rough idea - always some debate as to the accuracy of the figures.

here in Australia im guessing about 300 ish left maybe and that would include alot of unlicensed ones which collectors have salted away in sheds etc.
Only ever see a handfull ever advertised these days.
Over here all the bodies are good, no rust but the interiors and paint are failing
due to the heat and UV.
The 2.5 engine was the dominant engine here and a handfull of diesels.
Both engines seem to have lasted quite well miles wise.

Must be a few high mileage ones around - anyone travelling between cities in your neck of the woods would soon clock up the miles,

From classic car magazine this March telling folk to get a ZT as a future classic - i know it refers to the ZT but the 75 will follow.

There are 5-6 75s in Canada that Canadian Modern MG Rover Club knows of including one tourer. Two of the 75s came from Holland, the rest from the UK.
There are two ZT190s, one saloon (Written off unfortunately) and one Tourer, both from Europe.
Of course there may be more cars in the country that the CMMGRCC doesn't know about.
There is no such thing as SORN here (At least in British Columbia where I live) If the car is off the road the government doesn't care. The cars are only taxed when used on the road.
