Where did they go?
Hello Chaps, I wonder if anyone has the stats as to where most 75s were exported to in Europe? I'm after a 2003 75 diesel auto tourer, but as I live in Bulgaria, a LHD would be preferable and I'm wondering which countries would be best to start my search....

Have you seen this:

That is most interesting Paul. I wonder how many went to South Africa. The very first 75 I saw was a wedgewood blue in Cape Town in about 2001. There are still quite a few left there. But all RHD of course.

That's easy Jennifer, 1,418 Rover 75s were exported to South Africa (Plus any missing Cowley cars we don't have in the database.) 1,065 were MK1 cars. and 353 were facelifts.

Paul, most interesting, explains why there are quite a few left - no rust there.

I'm also on the look out now for exactly the same. Our saloon did 2100 miles around France last month and was wonderful but the extra space would be exceptional.
