I have 14 Kango tropicals (every acceptable colour, a Homberg, a Karakoul (for the winter, a genuine Afghan Astrakhan) and a 1945 de-mob army centre-fold (not mine, I 'm not that old). Lots of 'Look, there's that bloke again, he's got style. And a Rover'. Even a few waves. Still waiting for the autograph hunters.

As long as its an age-appropriate hat. A few years back I drove my Rover into town late at night wearing a hoody and the police pulled me over...

Would a hoody, a Rover 75 and late at night make you a "dealer" or a pimp?

Most of my work colleges have been taking the micky since I bought my ZT and have said thats its an old mans car.

Suddenly, I have a new nickname. " Trilby!"

It's more polite than my old nickname, so I'm not too bothered TBH!
Anyway,

Is it true?
Do most Rover 75 male drivers wear hats?
Trilby or other?
As long as you have a hat and hang out with the right sort of people you will fit in as an MG driver.. It worked for me..

A few years ago a number of us 75 owners had pipes, the smoking type. None of us actually smoked them, just posed for photos with them😎:

What is required is a flat cap, worn normally for a 75, back to front for a ZT.
