75 & ZT Models

Dorchester2 · 9th February 2018, 13:40

I was very lucky to find out 3 days ago the exact copy of my Admiral... in a Schuco miniature model 1/43!

Exactly the same! Same body colour, same interior colour, same year, same provenance (Cowley - have a look on the special details below) and even a LHD!
I was amazed!

I was looking for it since months but lots of mk2 red, green or silver but very very few mk1.
I think I've got the only one remaining in the world at the moment.

I'm waiting for it now.
My only concern: the professional German seller couldn't tell me if it was a 1.8, a V6 or a CDT!

But reasonably priced (£35) as a future collector, at least I hope so...

Here are the seller's pics:

But no longer any Rover 75 in stock now neither mk1 nor mk2.

Have a go on Ebay and never lose hope.

I never noticed that Freddie

My Schuco silver mk1 is left hand drive, whilst my Chrome Vanguard & Corgi xpower grey ZT are both right hand drive

I understand better now why there's nearly none left on offer!

You will also notice the two models of the Shuco type
on either end are the same body colour but different interiors.
The beige harder to find.
