Default Amazing for nearly a 20 year old car

Amazing how well these cars can clean up with some of the example 20+ mines 20 in January and still cleans up amazingly well for its age. Not sure what to do next year cause how well it cleans up. I’m not selling though I keep thinking to take it off the road to restore. I have some plans for this car for the next few years so can’t wait for my plans to start coming together when I do start with the plans.

I personally think the ZT has stood the test of time style wise more than the 75 - when i compare my Tourer's lines with modern tourer offerings you dont think there is a 20 year gap at all. And when you compare against the Jag/Audi and less so BMW offerings of the same era ie 2002 they look far better.

I completely agree but I still think that 75 stood the test of time

Good on you Thomas! A nice little project and make sure you look after your dad too!
BU number plate usually indicates a factory car.
Look after yourself and don’t fill your drive with more Rovers!
