Sooooooo! Does the Rover 75 Coupe exist, was it ever on the production line?

IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

Gorgeous - yes.

Was it ever produced? Sadly no

The car was only ever a prototype, and I don't think the interior was even complete when that particular photoshoot took place, although there was one done for a motorshow - but I forget which one now

Pictures abound somewhere

I think it used to be in the show room at the factory. It had a tan leather interior with a pine dash IIRC.

Its in NAC's/SAIC showroom in UK.
Have a look its photos and details were posted up by Jules when he went to see it.

Don't forget that they rebadged it as MG as well

Hi Dallas

Jules has posted his photos before. Not sure about the interior, however I think the car was fabulous and a real shame it never made production.

It's a lovely looking car in my opinion, but the interior colour is a little bold for me :lol:

I really like the chrome trim around the door speakers, and the chrome air vents on the dash, they really would look nice in a standard 75

was at the visitors centre last week on a tour of the TF production line and had a look at the coupe, very good looking car, the 19in wheels look great as well, it wears an MG badge now.
