Hello Rog,

I am but an elementary student of the 75/ZT interior but I do have a 2002 Monogram brochure from which I can offer the following observations which may help you identify your seats.



The above are MG 'Sports' seats ('Sports' being the name for a range within Monogram) in cream Alcantara. This is a synthetic material so Maninder will be relieved to know that no Alpaca lost its life for their manufacture. The base should be a much darker grey than shown in your photograph so I'm uncertain that they are completely genuine.



This seat style is from the 'Classic' range of Monogram designs specifically for the Rover 75. The colour is named after the Alpaca mammal and was not available in the MG ZT 'Sports' style in 2002 (but of course that may have changed).

Where does the term "summit" come from by the way? I can't see a reference to it in the brochure.

Simon
