Thumbs up

There are a few Trophy Yellow ZT's around. I think there were 3 at the 1st 75/ZT meet at Gaydon.

Aurora is very rare & I've got one!

I've spotted an aquamarine cdti with 10 miles on the clock. Is that going to be a greeny blue metallic?

That's probably Lagoon. I was offered one of those by Phoenix of Coventry when I was looking for my car but it was a V8.

Default Primrose Yellow

I personally think Primrose Yelow is one of the rarest, there were two at the Haynes meet, and strangely the owners are both located in the midlands, however, I have a copy of a rather splendid Launch Publication/Press Pack dated 1999 which mentions Primrose Yellow, but in the 2000 brochure it's already missing, so I guess PY must be a relative rarity. I did read somewhere that only 600 or so were made and a large number of them went for export.

My favourite at the moment is the Duo-tone 75 that was at Haynes, the Blue and Grey car. It looked so classy!

BTW:Thanks for sending my caption competition prize, I will be washing and polishing 'Primrose' - for that's what the good lady calls her - for a good while to come with those excellent products - many thanks

Andrew

Default Ski Blue

I also have a SKI Blue 75 which I bough about a month ago. it's an 05 2.0 CDT, looks and runs great. I Bought it to relieve the mileage demands on Primrose-and to save some money on fuel. 2.5V6 = 26 MPG (on a good day) 2.0 CDT = 45 (on an average day) - some difference!

I must post some photos of "AG 05 ROV" - Looks really cool in a sort of sad way. Thumbnail shot in poor light conditions attached below.

Regards

Default Rover 75 Colours

Damson red (Solid dark red) must rate as an extremely rare colour I guess most people chose either Dorchester or Nightfire or Firefrost reds.My Tourer
is Zircon but as it ws an ex-demo the colour choice was made for us.
