I don't know if any of you have noticed, but our cars are getting rarer. About a year ago I used to see a bunch of 75s around and a scattering of ZT/ZTTs when going about the place.

A year on and I'm seeing a scattering of 75s and virtually no ZT/ZTTs.

So I googled 'how many left' and discovered that not only are there a couple of sites offering the information, but our cars are rare/very rare.

Their latest figures put the total ZT versions at less than 2000, with there being less than 200 ZT+190s total! I'm guessing here, but I bet there are more Aston Martins, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other exotic cars on the road in the UK presently.

Thank heaven for the club and the enthusiastic community ❤️

so the prices will go up

The how many left website is known to be way off with numbers. My Alpina doesn't exist according to them. They only made 358 of the my car.

I know of five cars in a fifteen mile radius of where I live that are rotting in driveways and carparks.

The outrageous VED probably has something to do with it.

I wouldn't trust the numbers on these so called how many left websites, as they've been known to be way off.

But I agree you hardly ever see a 75 or ZT on the road now.

Back when I bought my typhoon in 2014 I used to see the odd 75 or ZT around when living in Essex. But from around 2016/17 on wards I've vary rarely been seeing one. I see a few 75's here in Norfolk now and again, but never come across another ZT. See a few MGF's and TFs though. Same with Rover 25's/ZR's and Rover 45's/ZS's, very rarely see them.

There's still a lot about, just don't know where they're always hiding.

Tend to keep mine off the salty roads, so summer use only. Still have 4 x 75s and 2 x ZTs - hoping they will last me out!

I see quite a few 75’s around here and pass a black facelift one regularly, sat on a driveway in a small village. Not noticed any ZT/-T’s other than my own for a long while.
There is however a house with an Ignition Blue facelift ZR and a silver facelift ZS around the corner from me.

Some excellent, thought provoking replies here. As an obsessive autistic boomer I checked multiple sites for the information. They are all broadly in agreement, based on data from Swansea.
I appreciate my experience is anecdotal at best, but as owners of increasingly rare British cars I am proud to be a part of this particular history.
It is my hope that by the time I have forgotten my name, the Raptor will be almost as good as new!
Long live MGR!

I have to look at a mk1 ZT V8 several times a day, and have done for the last 5 or 6 years. It lives right across from where I live, and it's not moved once. Makes me cry, I could be driving that.

FLYING BANANA · 9th February 2023, 19:08

There’s a few around in the West Country. I generally see a few each week, mainly 75’s.
