Mine not quite so exotic...but it did belong to John Thomas Tweedy who was head of new product development at MG Rover, he laterly went to the far east to promote new business there...too late as it seems.

His car (now mine) didnt turn a wheel for 12 months then when he decided to stay in the far east it was sold to Fords of Winsford....as soon as I saw the log book and its previous owner I snapped it up...by this time it was 14months old with 11k on the clock.

I have wriitten to John once and he replied with some of the cars history, which was a specialy commisioned build car just for him. cool.

I have the first production R75 V8 which appeared at the Geneva Motor Show 2004. It was subsequently on display at the Longbridge Visitors' Centre and used for various shows and publicity events before I bought it in September 2005.
It's a Left Hand Drive Connoisseur SE in Chatsworth Monogram with Monogram interior.
It now lives in Lithuania but stays at home during the winter (November-March).
