Ok I confess, I tried it with my last car when this was posted up previously. But I have learned the error of my ways and repented of my sin.

What penitence would thoust visit upon such a beggardly knave as I?

This site is OK but the info is a lot less comprehensive than what Reebs has available. According to the site my ZT was one of 137 1.8T 160 saloons produced in Anthricate but there was no distinction between standard and + spec. I PM'd Reebs asking if he could find out how many, like mine, were + spec. His response was much more detailed than that, turns out mine is one of only 16 in Anthracite 1.8T ZT160+s with the same trim levels etc!

Sledge · 9th May 2014, 04:07

Is the serial number in the VIN the total number of vehicles from the factory, ie ZT's, ZRs, 75's etc?

Reebs · 9th May 2014, 06:25

Yes and no. In theory yes but there are gaps in the numbers. For example pre-production 75s started with 000xxx, but then when full production started they assigned the first VIN 100001 and so on. There are other examples of gaps and jumps too, so you can't take it as an indication of the total number of cars built.

Sledge · 9th May 2014, 08:16

Thanks Reebs.

Mine shows as a Contemporary, which it isn't. AFAIK no Contemporaries made it to Australia; I certainly haven't seen one up for sale.

Got to see if I can track down the VIN for my deceased ZT, I think my 75 may have rolled out of the factory at a similar time to the Z.

Reebs · 9th May 2014, 08:26

Some of the data input descriptions were done shall we say without much care

at the factory, so for example all exported 75s have Contemporary against them! I have been cross referencing the entries against their specified trim levels and VIN identifiers to 'correct' these errors somewhat were possible. Another faux par is that on the original data (which that other site is using) Nearly all ZTs have a model year entry of 2001 by default, even though the VIN number clearly identifies the model year. Again all rectified for our version of the database here

Sledge · 9th May 2014, 09:21

Is there any data as to how many ZTs and 75s made it to Australia?

But of course

Rover 75:
691 - Saloon 2.5 V6 Club
1,025 - Saloon 2.5 V6 Connoisseur
84 - Saloon 2.0 CDT diesel Connoisseur

48 - Tourer 2.5 V6 Club
58 - Tourer 2.5 V6 Connoisseur
6 - Tourer 2.0 CDT diesel Connoisseur

Total = 1,912

MG ZT:
23 - ZT 260 V8 Saloon
230 - ZT 180 Sports Auto 2.5 V6 Saloon
159 - ZT 190 2.5 V6 Saloon

46 - ZT-T 180 Sports Auto 2.5 V6 Tourer
17 - ZT-T 190 2.5 V6 Tourer

Total = 475

I should add, that these figures are based on all available build records, but as we know, there are some missing later Cowley built cars, but seing as none of the Cowley build records that we do have had any exports to Australia, it is unlikely that there are many if any unaccounted for in the missing records.
