Sounds like pretty standard spec really but hope that the engine is 4.6 litres rather than 4.2.
Would be a nice beast to own I must say, now if some very special V8 whether a Rover or ZT came along I could be temted to part with the Tourer.

I'm Surprised "The Green Named One" just didn't remove all trace once he spotted the Date!

I was at an Xpart service centre near Stratford last year looking around it & getting ideas on how the set up works & they had a 75 hearse in for service. They said that a local firm or firms had a few of them but the one they had in was a very late car & wouldn't configure on the Testbook 4 system because some of the wiring was Chinese!!

I also see it has the Vanden Plas badge too!

Send him an April Fool PM, better be quick though it's getting towards midnight.
He is referring to the hearse though and not the everso slightly bogus V8.

. Perhaps he's ignoring you.

I thought it had to be before mid-day?

This isn't as much of an April Fool's joke as it seems. It beleived it as first as I thought this car did actually exist....and it does!

It took a few days to remember where I had read about it before, but if you visit http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/ and click on the Rover 75/MG ZT page you'll see a section headed "The Rover 75 V8 Limousine"!!! Proof that MGR did go the whole hog! (except for maybe a V8 limo tourer)

Sheesh! He is right! That is scary! I had not seen that prior to thinking up this wheeze.....you just cannot make it up can you

Wouldn't the new Drag Factor slow you down a bit Keith?
I bet it drinks fuel also, even more when fully loaded to!
