I drive about 2000 miles a month and I must see at least one every day. I agree, they are nearly always very tidy looking examples.

I agree with suzublu though, we do seem to be at a point where these are just throw away cars. Which is a real shame, hopefully it will flatten out before we are left with very few cars.

We had a holiday to scotland last year from Cornwall and saw 2 75's, there's about 7 in total roughly around where I live, four of them end up in works car park and I own 2

Spare a thought for the 200 coupe,I've not seen one on the road for months now

75's and ZT's are plentiful by comparison to the niche Rovers.

You need to travel to posh areas to see 75's & ZT's

Very true.

Still see a couple of coupes, but then again, you didn't see that many back in the day..

600/800's are getting rare also

Hi
Plenty around here. Always see a few going to and from work. A few in the town the school is in too.

I was in West Yorkshire, Lancs and Cumbria for a few days last week and was amazed by the number of 75s I saw, I wish I'd started counting, I just didn't think I'd see so many. Made me really happy. In years gone by I always used to think there were more Rovers in those parts of the world than further south. My new one should be on the road about a week from now.
