How many rover's left the factory with premium grills?
How many rover's left the factory with premium grills? And how many are non V8's?
I'am curious as I've never seen one for sale apart from my own. Is there a record someware, or does anybody know?

I know nowt that will assist you with determining the OEM fitted Premium grill data (I'm sure a learned guru on here will come along soon to solve that one) but based on the handfull of replies so far the answer is 2-3 including your own. On the other hand there are apparently just as many that didn't leave the factory fitted to the front of a car just sitting around in sheds and garages waiting for the pre-loved marketprice to continue to climb - when the curve of declining R75 population crosses or approaches apogee of that value (and more questions similar to yours get published) you may get a definitive answer...... |

The Premium grille was intended for the Rover 75 only, but then was later used by NAC for top versions of their MG7.

I have to say those premium front ends do look the business! Not that I could ever afford one. I shall just have to console myself by pretending my car is "original spec."
