What is so special about the 100th edition Rover 75 ?

To be fair it does have Vortex wheels, which alone makes it worth £12800

Brian

P.S. I'm sure I could make one in this spec, albeit RHD for considerably less if required

Marketing, pure and simple.

Were they only produced in LHD ?

It looks far excessive even in France.
Average price for 75 should be between 2,500 & 5,000€ (£2,200-4,500) depending of condition & mileage as usual.
Maybe some exceptional specimen may be appreciated a little higher, but here all relies upon the 100th anniversary label and likely the V8 bumper!

EDIT: Anyway regarding whether the 100th edition was only done for LHD cars, I haven't any clue.
I think you're better located in the mainland to know whether they were made for RHD cars or not.
