Pictures of new 75s and ZTs?

Jarno · 16th February 2011, 10:33

With so many Rover 75s and MG ZTs being broken for spares these days, I thought it would be nice to have a thread in which people can post (unofficial) pictures of brand new brand new Rover 75s or MG ZTs at dealerships / motorshows / 75/ZT launch / factory back in the days. I couldn't find that many pictures on the internet, but I reckon some of u will have a nice collection.

A couple I've found:

I don't have many unofficial photos but i know of this site http://www.mgrover.at/ which has some official factory photos, launch photos and new 75/ZT photos

Duotone that photo was taken just by what is now the Sainsbury's petrol station on Ings Road. Was it Appleyard Wakefield then?

Yes, the picture was taken at JCT 600's Rover dealership on Ings Road Wakefield.. This site is now a block of flats/apartments, it was next door to Sainsbury's petrol station.

A few months after the picture was taken JCT 600 moved a short distance to Waldorf Way changing the dealership signs from Rover to MG Rover and is now a Chrysler/Mazda dealership..

Also, I wonder what is the "STRICTLY ADULT ENTERTAINMENT" on offer consisted of.

It took Sunwin ages to change the sign.. mind you I didn't venture that way much tbh. They eventually changed it just to say Sunwin where the Jewson sign is now.

The old Rover sign pre-dated BMW

Yes, I think it is/was the Rover garage in Keighley as that is where I bought a Rover 214SLI from and got my MGTF serviced. I always found them very helpful! Plus I think the 01535 pretty much confirms it as Keighley.
