The 75/ZT was not in the Mondeo/Vectra sector, but in the BMW/Audi/Mercedes class that is partly why the Company went bankrupt, because the British public were convinced by various morons in the motoring press to look upon these wonderful cars as Mondeo/Vectra equivalents, can you imagine the French abandoning their Citroens, Peugeots, and Renaults for BMWs, Audi etc, no I cannot, they have pride.

Our cars are great, destined to be exhibited at car shows just as countless other wonderful British cars, most will vanish from roads in 5 years, and in 10 years you be lucky to see any at all, so enjoy them now, and remember Britain was the greatest car maker in the world just a few years ago, we decided to throw all that away because we can't manage people.
