Rover 75 survival rates of colours

Olde faithful · 5th August 2019, 17:05

I was wondering now that the youngest built Rover/ZT are now 14 going into 15 years old, and some early ones 20 years old, what is the most popular colours still in existence ? aware silver and firefrost may be high on here due to higher numbers ( mark 2s) however the mark 1 Rover 75 will show a more mixed bag i feel

Ill start it off i have two Copperleaf red tourers

My mk2 75 is Firefrost, in my humble opinion the best non monogram colour.

Got a Mk1 Copperleaf and a MK2 Firefrost. Best of both.
Condition is far more important than colour for me though.

Be good to know how many Mirage 2 are still left, weren't many to start with! But here's one for starters.

I always wanted pewter grey, not many of those around now, if any left, and i had a primrose yellow Rover 75, that looked ace.

Copperleaf, but also spotted within the last two days (around Hereford and Pershore) a Raven black, white gold, firefrost, wedge wood and a navy blue tourer. Quite a mixed bag. Seeing the black one was the first one i've seen on the road, very smart it was too.

1999 Mk1 Atlantic blue pearlescent (JEY) with blue / green glints.
Am I alone with that only Cowley built colour?
