Is the Rover 75 / MG ZT a classic car or not?
Thoughts!!
|
Will be by 2022 - great styling and of course last British owned, designed and produced mass production car - had some work done on my sills by a local body shop - they said " it was a privilege to work on the car - last of its kind?":}

The "Classic Shows" organisation accept cars over 15 years old onto the show field , so that's currently up to 2004 :shrug:
|
Absolutely! After they start to get on the other side of 20 years old, values will go up significantly, as there will be fewer left. They must be close to reaching the bottom end of their values, certainly in the UK.

At the moment I'd say they are on the brink as some shows refuse them. I have been refused twice with my 02. Personally, I think they are a classic, but opinions obviously vary. I get classic insurance though. ☺

Mine will always be a classic to me!
Personally I believe the MG has a much better chance, just because it's called an MG. Rover, history has shown the Rovers are never worth very much, however the 75 is the last British mass produced car so maybe, maybe not. Then we have the issue of electric vehicles taking over which may or may not throw a spanner in the works. In future years i can just imagine parents telling their children not to go anywhere near that thing because they are dangerous and will kill you. Basically, I think it's anyone's guess. If we could predict things like this we would all be lottery winners. Which reminds me, best get my ticket for tomorrow's euro millions lol. |

Of course the Commando creamed them. Not sure how the story ended - I seem to remember they shot the Commando rider. Considering when the story was written - it was quite prophetic. |
Electric vehicles have nothing to do with this question!
will the Rover 75 be a classic yes, however never going to be worth too much! which is a shame! STILL A CLASSIC THOUGH AND YES 2022 when less than 6000 will be left most likely |

There would be little point restoring an old car if there is no fuel to drive it, or if it's banned from the roads. A car you can't drive is not a car in my book. |
