Noticed a drop off in the Rover 75 on the British roads these last few weeks

Seems to me that these days there are primarily 2 types of owners of the '75 & ZT:

Enthusiasts who love & cherish their cars;
those with a more practical view who see them simply as good value day to day transport.

With the increasing age of the model, numbers in the 2nd category are naturally declining which will inevitably leave just the enthusiasts in a few years time

. 75s and ZTs are already a rare sight on the roads 'round my way, which is a real shame, but not altogether surprising given the age of even the youngest examples.

On a more positive note though, it's reassuring to see such a strong "support network" in the form of clubs such as this one and the various Facebook groups. Long may they continue
