Very few, never exported to the US. In 2005 a handful were fitted with EU4 compliant engines (European emissions standard 4) and sent to the US for testing purposes, they never came back, last heard of in the hands of a collector but that was about ten years ago.

I'll just wonder as I want to move to America when I'm older and wanted to see if I should take my rover 75 over with me so I guess that's a yes I want to move to the sates in my mid 20s

there's a rule that cars have to be 25 years old before they can be imported into America. If you wait until your car is 25 years old you can take it to America, so it shouldn't be a problem for you if you plan on moving there in your mid 20's.

To answer your question, there's almost no 75's or ZT's in the USA, but the rover 800 made it to America, badged as the "sterling"

My rover is 03 and I was born in 03 so exactly the same age

When you're ready to move, buy one from the Continent (South of France, Portugal or somewhere that rust doesn't kill them). That way you'll have a LHD car and the Yanks won't give you as hard a time.

Cheers,

I'm probably going to convert mine just as I don't want to let it go

When my 75 was at the NEC back in 2017, I got chatting to an American car collector who had acquired one of the test cars. He told me it was in pretty much mint condition other than having had its ECU removed.He was (at that time at least) keeping it as a static car in his collection.

A V8, in Trophy Blue, went to the US to have a Rousch supercharger fitted to see if it was worth putting into production as a variation on engine power. Not sure if it is still there or it came back.
