Rover 75 and MG ZT book - March 2014 release

Rover Raver · 2nd August 2013, 19:30

I have just been informed that a new book devoted to the Rover 75 and MG ZT written by the well-known motoring author James Taylor, is due to go on sale in March 2014.

James Taylor is a well-known motoring author and historian and is also one of the world's most noted authorities on Rover and Land Rover history. He has previously written numerous books on these respective subjects.

Although the exact title of the book has not been confirmed yet, I can advise you that it will be published by Crowood Press. Several members from this forum have provided James with information (and plenty of encouragement!) for this latest publication.

Can't wait to read it!

They have no name and were never officially offered on the Rover 75 as they were a design exercise as part of the 75 Design Theme, unveiled at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show.

Sorry to disappoint you as the whole car itself was rather appealing!

James Taylor's books are always a brilliant read, so I can't wait to see this.

As if I need more ammunition to give the other half for my Rover 'obsession'.

Going to have to order a copy though when it's released - a bit of bedtime reading. Ear plugs might come in handy!

I have James Taylor's books and they are brilliant. Cant wait for this book. Our cars deserve a good book.

Surely this is confirmation of our cars finally going through the rise to Classic status in the motoring world?
A welcome addition to any avid collector of automobilia
