Default Why do some folk have more than one 75 or ZT?

Hi All,

I'm just wondering why have more than one?

I think I may be answering my own question but I wouldn't mind having a second one. The reason for me is now that I am aware and know what to look for I would like to have one that looks cosmetically great whilst at the same time is mechanically sound with a clean interior. Don't get me wrong I am smitten with the Beast but it will never be up to scratch and will always need something doing to it so I would like a second one just for the pure enjoyment of knowing it's sound and nothing other than standard maintenance etc needs doing.

Looking back I bought a cheap car expecting to use and abuse it as just a runaround and had no idea it would become a passion and hobby. If I had known what I know now it would have been a lot cheaper for me to buy one £1000+ that was already decent lol.

I best get saving because I want a Sunday best 75 or ZT lol....this time a different engine too.

DONE: HAD A CRAZY IDEA THAT I HAD TO GET RID OF MY MG ZTT DUE TO NOT HAVING A DRIVE AND HAVING TO PARK ON A BUSY STREET WITH A VIEW TO GETTING ANOTHER ONE AT A LATER DATE WHEN I HAVE A DRIVE.

ENDED UP REALISING IT REALLY ISN'T PRACTICAL NOT HAVING A CAR TO GET AROUND AND I NOW OWN A VW EOS 3.2 V6 INDIVIDUAL (1 OF 20 REMAINING IN THE UK WITH THAT ENGINE AND TRIM COMBO) EVEN THOUGH I STILL LIVE ON A BUSY ROAD WITHOUT A DRIVE

When one breaks down then you can use the other one

I want another because....I just do

If mine was written off it would be less painful if i owned second.

And of course there is something about keeping the marque alive as one day these may be rare cars (for some this may be a long term investment).

Also if one was off the road you've got a back up

And i want a petrol varient, a 2.5 V6 with all the toys if poss

If I had my drive and garage again I'd have two tomorrow.
As it is I now live in a retirement complex with an allotted parking space so have had my wings well and truly clipped.

Seems I'll just have to keep adding goodies to the one I have.

A question my wife often asks!
Mainly because I can't bear to part with my ZT even though it gets very little use.

If I had the space and was in the position to indulge myself I would get a ZT (Or 2), maybe 180 and 190/260

I'd really like the Rover 75 Sport but as that was never made the other option is to one day make up a hybrid (Unless I can get my hands on a MG7)
