Don't know about anyone else but I certainly wouldn't be swapping from a 420 to 75 or a zt!
Unless your handy with the spanners and quite happy spending numerous weekends under the car desperately trying to get ready for its next mot I'd avoid like the plague!
These cars are getting on now, and are relatively expensive to keep roadworthy. Replacement suspension parts are generally poor quality, certain things are getting harder to find and the old tin worm is beginning to creep into many examples. Not to mention the amount of garages that rip you off for work if you can't do it yourself!
Don't get me wrong, good well cared for cars are out there. However, I (and many others) certainly wouldn't recommend these cars to anyone! I'm just unfortunate enough to have caught roveritis, the irrational love for all things mg rover.
