Yes, a nice looking car. Looks like a genuine one too.

Must not be many of those about in 1.8 turbo. Maybe the only one?

Pretty certain this was the motorshow car at one stage. Stunning car. If I'd the spare cash, I'd be after it.

Looks like the same Duotone on display at the NEC Motorshow.

I attended the show and saw this Duotone 75 on the MG Rover stand.

It had been especially painted for the show and had been sold shortly before I saw it.

At the time MG Rover did not have any intention of offering Duotone 75's for general sale.

Looks like it even has a walnut handbrake grip.

I already have two cars, that has to be worth 800 quid of anyone's money for such a rare beast in a lovely combination and would appear in good condition.
