It's not too surprising really! People who aren't really interested in the 75, and for them it's "Just a car" will scrap them in an instant if an large repair bill arrives. With the value of some of these great 75's and ZT's being just a few hundred quid at the moment, virtually any garage bill will be more than the car is worth.
I purchased my 75 with the intention of keeping it for many years and at any cost. It will go up in value at some point, but that's not the reason I wanted one. To me, I see it as the last car from what was once the great british car industry. It turned out to be one of the best cars Rover ever built. I love driving it, I love the old style interior, I could go on and on lol.
The thing is, they don't seem too rare around my area. I see loads of them, both on the road and parked in driveways.
