A beautiful Rover 75 V8 tourer one of only 16 ever built next to a V8 MG ZT.

Andy1's great 2007 "07" Rover 75 Conny mint condition

A lovely "55" plate beauty

A BERMUDAN car 2008 "08" plater, I wonder if this is Rover418275's car? before he owned it,It was taken there by SMC Rover for promotions last year at Gaydon. MK1 meets MK2....

And the Primrose yellow meeting up with a blue MGZT motor..

I love the spot lamp shine on the wet tarmac........I have loads of shots of this venue,these are just a small selection.

Merry Christmas.

LX55 ... is my V8 Contemporary SE.....and I agree it is a beauty

and goes like stink, the perfect combination.

Though have left her in the garage today - V8 rwd and snow tend not to mix too well

top car Mike..

I love the Rover brand on the V8's more than the MG ones so much more rarer...and dare i say it the Audi style grille...No stop it...V8 grille.

MG

Here is an article published in the Autotrader 10th. March 2004 at the launch

of the Rover 75 V8 in Geneva

Quote from a MG Rover spokesman.

Any similarity [between the V8 Grille and the Audi A6 Grille] was purely

coincidental and that the 75's designers had been working on the style for

some time. He added: "Anyway Rover started the large grille look back in 1967

with the P5B"
