Im more curious with the mk1 R75 styling, will it be along the lines of post drive or pre drive with various boot badges and so on being different.

Big one I wanna know is, does it have two cup holders!!!

Great news! And good idea putting as sticky. I think I've missed much on the development recently, having a stick certainly helps. Was a decision made for the other cars at Longbridge?

Looking forward to seeing how it goes. Well done everyone.

Pre-production, does that mean that it is a hand-built prototype or one of the very first cars to be built on the actual production line? Good work guys!

The oldest known R75 Tourer in Finland is up for grabs btw, is the club interested?

I would like to say were glad to be part of this club doing all we can on behalf of these early examples.I am proud that we "also" being club members that the directors have played there part with backing up the membership. its a well done to them also.

In personnally feel that the Rover 75/MGZT club is becoming a powerhouse and going from strength to strength.I just hope we can save and bring within the club as many of these early S plate cars as possible, but its nice to know the club owns the oldest known surviving model S525 OVP.

That would almost certainly be pre production on the line. Only a very few very early cars are handbuilt as they are so expensive. They would be so different from the production cars (things like fibreglass instead of plastic mouldings) that you would know straight away.

Well done guys. I will watch with interest how this develops.
