Early Tourers...
This list has been building up for three and a half years now, and keeps on growing. Thanks to all the contributors.
This early Tourer list includes ZT-Ts, and for now I'm using Greeners ZT-T as the cut-off date for the list. Grateful for further information from anyone, particularly anyone who was at Longbridge in 2000/2001 and knows anything about the early cars. Unknown - N269 FYA Early prototype- black sills (Not taxed since April 2001, no MOT details, assume scrapped at Longbridge) Unknown- W226 JPA Silver (Assume scrapped) Unknown- W471 CJW Registered 22/03/00 (Portugese magazine article) Not MOT'd since 2010 Unknown - X541 JOH 4WD prototype (Not on DVLA database assume scrapped) Unknown - X941 KOX (75/ZT-T hybrid ex MG Sport and Racing) Unknown - X706 UOK Silver MG ZT-T DVLA lists as Rover, not MOT'd since 2008 First mass production 75 Tourer listed in build records is 204419 - 22/01/01 - X702 UOK Moonstone Green 2.0 CDT Sonic ZS 204465 - 23/01/01 - X703 UOK Black LHD 205212 - 01/02/01 - X712 UOK Wedgewood Blue 205495 - xx/02/01 - Y419 UOM Wedgewood Blue (used as an internal car at Longbridge, prototype parts internally, removed in 2005 when sold) 206151 - 22/02/01 - Y422 UOM Zircon Silver /Neptune Blue (no longer fitted) (Press Car- Approved Accessories Brochure, and possibly Tourer launch brochure) BananasMel 206269 - 26/02/01 - Y424 UOM Royal Blue (MG Rover Management Car) 206408 - 27/02/01 - Y234 UON Moonstone Green Les 4048 207135 - 08/03/01 - Y213 UON Wedgwood Blue / Aubergine Jezzer 1 207221 - xx/03/01 - Y241 UON Moonstone Green (sold August 2015 as spares or repair) 207307 - 13/03/01 - Y199 TOC Royal Blue Bermod 207845 - 20/03/01 - Y277 TOC Moonstone Green (UK model, now in Canada) terreneuve 207926 - 20/03/01 - Y278 TOC Copperleaf Red 208156 - 22/03/01 - Y875 UOP British Racing Green/Deep Sea Green (Senior managers personal car) Allegroman 208894 - 29/03/01 - Y211 TOC Zircon Silver 209417 - 04/04/01 - Y426 TOL Royal Blue Scrapped 209470 - 04/04/01 - Y429 TOL Royal Blue (Press Car- What Car) 210302 - 11/04/01 - Y421 TOL Moonstone Green 210759 - 13/04/01 - ????? ???

Out of the batch of Moonstone Tourers to appear in the last couple of months, this one has Meteors Sat Nav headlamp washers etc.. Not sure about the sunroof yet. Silver Meteors, Front Fogs, torpedoes (2.5Litre), Sat Nav, headlamp wash and projector headlamps, sunroof and 'Rover' boot plinth (Brochure 5796- apparently issued before cars were in dealerships) There is what appears to be a second silver car: Silver '881 OHA' Front Fogs, probably Meteors, Chrome mirrors and torpedoes but no headlamp wash or Sat Nav. As seen at: http://www.drivervibe.com/2013/07/5-...nder-2000.html Dark Blue 'UVV181' shown at speed, http://www.aronline.co.uk/press/mgrov75_4.jpg This may be the same car as in RGS-0601-218 Meteors, Front Fogs, Projector headlamps and wash wipe Chrome mirrors and torpedoes http://www.flickr.com/photos/21387694@N03/2216855407/ Also may be in RGS 0501-171, although I'm not 100% sure on the colour being the same... http://www.flickr.com/photos/21387694@N03/2217636892/ The silver and blue cars may well be ones already on the main list (at least I hope I can figure out which cars they are with a bit of patience)

If you look on the early ZT list below, you'll find the details of my ZTT which appears to be the earlist known in the club at this time.
Edit here's my tourer details MA 51 GHV 1570 226804 Unknown 20/09/2001 Greeners Anthracite Tourer and worth keeping this thread near by too as it has some pictures of a lot of them

I started a thread when this one appeared, as a whole, but I don't think anyone put themselves forward to save it. Very impressive spec, and definitely a Y reg with an OC at the end.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/breaking-r...p2047675.l2557 I also posted this thread, in relation to a Copperleaf Red Tourer, on a Y plate, which I seem to recall was either OC, or OL registered. I don't know if Reebs could work out the plate again for us, after discovering it was the 45th Tourer? http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=136000

Do any early Tourers have 'Rover' on the rear plinth as in the early brochure? I've never seen one.

I suppose my tourer might go on this list Y686FRP CDT Connoiseur in copperleaf red, registered 26/7/2001. I don't know when the build date is but now I know its an early one I'll have to start ta
king better care of her. The garage I bought it from said they had sourced the car for the previous owner and he'd brought it back to them to px for an S-Type, they said the car was originally a demo car at C D Bramall's in Milton Keynes. Last edited by carlosg; 12th August 2013 at 18:34.. |

I doubt it as the ROVER plinth had already been deleted on saloons as part of project drive when Tourer production commenced.

I remember the first tourer to pass through the workshop. It was registered on a private plate but still a Y registration in Royal Blue. I still remember the plate!
