I think around 30.000 MGZTs i believe somewhere around that number.

I had a ZR toot me coming home from the Nano - I see more of them and the 45 than anything! I don't know if its still there, but a couple of weeks ago there was a ZR for sale on the main road into Skegness. Think it was something like £350 lol!

It's not surprising you don't see many ZT on the road.
With a little over 20000 made ( ZT and ZTT combined) it's one of the rarest production car built in recent times.
InI taly they sold 114 facelift ZTT. No wonder I have only seen only one apart from mine since I got mine new in 2005.

1998 JUST 10 CARS LEFT ONLY two road worthy.

I wonder if one of those is S525 OVP?
SINCE 2017 ANOTHER 15 Rover 75 cars have gone from the roads, which means if it carries on like this there will be 5000/6000 left in 2021 operating.

the future is with us now!!! thats without schemes and Birmingham smoke zones rendering R75 as no go area cars
i have 2 connies
not many left in ireland

My Contemporary se in Nocturne(no' 13 of 13)gets sorned quite often ,as I live in Gozo,,so don't think that it's been removed permanantly,actually it passed its MOT yesterday.
And when I return to Gozo,I have my connie' which is wearing Maltese plates now,so that hasn't expired yet.
Last time I looked,my old classic cdt(W redg')is still taxed,
I think they are doing well,all things considered and would advocate anyone with a small amount of sill corrosion to not think about scrapping it.
Ken.

I saw a moonstone 75 in Lisbon recently!
