Its very odd colour as it looks blue
Looking at my V5 and all the MOT paperwork from new and it got Grey

Hi folks, I've given the 'Many Colours Thread' a bit of an update

The Many Colours Of The Rover 75 And MG ZT

If you scroll down past the pictures you'll see that there is now an availability by production year for each colour, also in the Monogram section, if you click on any of the pictures, another window will open showing further examples of cars in that colour.

I do need some missing data however for the ZT colours available in the first year of production, so if anyone has a 2001 MG ZT brochure, could they let me know what colours were listed as being available please

Thanks, and enjoy

I have an early 2002 brochure. Actually not sure if this one was the first full brochure. Mine is 5947/B

Maybe someone has an earlier version.

Anyway.

Solar Red
Trophy Yellow
Royal Blue
British Racing Green
Le Mans Green
Trophy Blue
Copperleaf Red
X Power Grey
Anthracite
Starlight Silver.

And you still have the R75 V8 estate as Raven over Bacchus Tut Tut!!

PS There was a moonshine example recently if you want that picture I have one two...

Good work on the thread though, it is one of my favourites on this site

Paul.

You will have to add Seafrost Blue to the dropped list for 2005.

Here are a couple of Moonshine pictures.

Do you have any other than the ones just posted by Duotone?, Also re: the funeral duotone, do you still have the other pictures you took of it? I know it's not official, but I'd love to add the extra angles

Paul,
Mine is a Steel Blue JFB. It has been manufactured in May 2000 in Cowley (and first registered in France on 31st July 2000).
I think the Steel Blue may have been dropped just after

For your Monogram colours Reebs.

Here is an unusual picture.

A facelift Rover 75 in Twilight.

Usually found on a ZT, ZT-T
