No coolant in tank - but no overheating

Hello everyone,

I own a Rover 75 2.0 CDT manual, which I'm currently restoring. It's been in the family for almost 20 years now! Unfortunately, it has been stored away for almost 10 years, during which it didn't run. (in a cool and dry place - plenums well empty

)

Anyways, since it is back in running condition for some time now, I went to check the levels of oil and coolant. Oil was ok, looking sharp and level, however when I went to check the coolant... there was none!

The tank was bone dry. Nonetheless, the car has been running flawlessly - it isn't overheating, and there's no "low coolant" warning.

FYI, the thermostat's brand new. The coolant has been flushed and changed , lines have been double checked and there's no leak, as well as no mixing with oil.

Now here's the question... where's my coolant?!
