Not to mention the finished grille attached to a finished car. Will be presented here of course.
Btw: The c-pillar trims have arrived safely. Thank you very much!

Hi Ron,
very nice, really. Although very individual the viking is not my cup of tea but this is just a matter of taste. I prefer the "classic" Roverbadge. But apart from that there is another little difference between your grille and mine. Do you spot it?

Hello Bastelmann!
Sorry to break into your thread but I thought this may be the best place to contact you.
My ZT-190 spent most of it's time in Europe, only coming to Canada in 2018.
I know it was shipped to Belgium when new and came here via a dealer in Holland, but I have no idea where it was in between.
One clue I have is the European emissions sticker on the windscreen. A poster on the 75/ZT facebook page thought it was issued in Bavaria. I'm just wondering if you could confirm this. Any clues are appreciated!

Here is the decal

Hi Rich,


in EU-countries the code in the white array of the sticker generally has to be the registration mark of a car. In this case I can´t read it with certainty. Is it F5-DD-NF? Anyhow this is definitely not a German registration mark which ends with a digit and not with letters. I am not able to dedicate the registration mark to another European country because this seems to be an extremely complex issue (as an example a wiki-article concerning the systematic of the Dutch registration marks: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/System...n_(Niederlande)). On the other hand the sticker itself definitely is a German sample ("anerkannte AU-Werkstatt)", "Umwelt Zone"). Confusing. Don´t you have some more information about the car in the registration documents? I´ll pass this riddle to a german 75-facebook group. Perhaps there is someone up to answer your question precisely. I´ll get back to you.


Cheers
Andreas

Thanks for your help!
Unfortunately I didn't receive any old registrations or export documents with the car.
It was bought through a Dutch dealer and passed through one other set of hands in Canada
before I got the car so any paperwork has been lost.
It just occurred to me that there was a service sticker from a Mazda dealer in Rotterdam, but it was not dated.
The car had 115,000km when I got it so the sticker is quite old.

I took a close look at the Umwelt decal (and a closer picture)
The writing is definitely 75-PF-NI
I checked the link you sent and it looks like the numbering could match the information for Dutch number plates (sidecode 6) but any additional information is appreciated.

Is this your car?

If so, we got it.

Bastelmann the Detective!

Yes, That's my car at the dealer in Holland.
I have the set of photos off their website as well as a photo of the buyer receiving the car from them.

Well, I merely asked a question in a facebook group, that´s all. It was the Dutch 75-enthusiast Mr Pim Appel who gave me the hint to van Leeuwen cars in Holland. Look at this link to a German 75-forum: http://www.r75.info/modules.php?name...wtopic&p=68657
The gent to the right on the photo on page 2 is Pim.

This is a link to a private German 75 facebook group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/459173084257569/


Sign on and you can contact Pim directly if you want.

If I were you, I would contact van Leeuwen. There must exist archived information at least concerning the directly preceding owner of the car before it went to Canada via van Leeuwen. I will meanwhile try to find further information on your cars history; the emission sticker suggests that the car has had at least one owner in Germany. Maybe someone in the German 75-scene can remember the car.

Great information. Thanks very much for your help.

I will let your thread get back to the progress on your 75.

Cheers, Rich
