TADA.

As for mk1 vs mk2.

I like the mk2 75 rear bumper more than the mk1 R75, the mk2 front bumper is also lovely, but I dont like the lights or the grill on the mk2 bumper.

If only it was a hybrid of mk1 lights and grill, with mk2 lower half then it would be perfect.

I prefer the looks of the preface lift 75 to the face lift shape. I also prefer the sepia dial lights they match the climate control display better.

I think the face lift ZT looks better than the pre face lift ZT.

However I would be very happy to own any of the range be it 75 Saloon, 75 Tourer, ZT, ZT-T, pre face lift, face lift with any engine. They are all sooooo much nicer than any of their competitors.

As for the Mk2 it does, as you say, look like a lot of other modern cars, mainly from the front, and for me that's a no no..

But it's nice that we get a choice innit.

NO,NO,NOOOOOOOOOOOOO,
I personally feel the rover 75 designers looked back to the orignal 75 and P5. I would stick my neck out and say the p5 was more of an influence then the old rover 75.
