Weird or what

The listing for the 2.5L tourer on ebay is weird

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rover-75-2-5-v...QQcmdZViewItem

If you look it's a facelift car with the facelift front and rear ends even the dash is the facelift one however the date of registration is Sept 2003 well before the facelifts were intoduced. Is the registration date wrong or was this release before the 04 facelifts were?

The rear speaker needs a clean!!

The answer i think is in the description previously registered to MG Rover Group, Longbridge it was probably an early test/evaluation mule.

No one bit the bait anyway.
There is a MK2 Tourer with a 2003 Plate around, again MG Rover listed as previous (first) owner.

I think you'd be surprised. I seem to remember seeing a 75Tourer advertised on fleabay, that had had the new-style put on the front (lights and bumper), and accrding to the seller (who got very defensive about it) said that that made it a MG ZTT. Me thinks not. The rest was very much original 75.
