It was part of a Rover display at Woodford airshow near Manchester in June 2000 I think. A salesman told me it was a prototype they were using to judge interest, and if there was enough interest, they would put it into production. Although I liked the 75 when it first came out, seeing that 75 tourer in Old English White made me decide that I wanted one one day if it went into production. Some 9 years later, the time was right to get one, but it had to be white like the first one I saw. That's when I found out how rare white ones are. In my opinion, one of the best looking cars in white.
