Generally big cars are out so maybe it is the time to snap another one up at the moment.

, looked after, these cars can last most of us the rest of our lives, with a bit of luck!

Sounds like a good idea!!.. There is a lovely solar red 260 on PistonHeads.. ummmmmm.. My MK2 ZT is one of only 6000 built, so hopefully will become a classic, and avoid the crusher!!

that is why i am trying to sort a delivery miles Rover 75 like SMG Rover/AE Wilcox, to put in my garage and use after my current tourer dies a thousand deaths, one ready made to go so to speak.

Thats the way to go.

If there was still a 'new' ZT 260 out there in the right colour, I would certainly buy it and put in my garage for very occasional use

Yep!

I feel that the low mileage examples or secure a good deal on the last of the 08 registrations, and slap it in the garage. The Rover brand will leave on for many a year yet matey.

The only probs are the lack of the 08 models with only around 8/9 cars its not many to be garaged.

I live in Barnton near Northwich, Cheshire. On my village I have counted 6 or 7 used locally and plenty more around the area. The ex Rover dealer says that they still get enquiries for the 75.......

martin green · 21st July 2009, 17:08

have new 08 delivery miles examples or run in models only available in your area mate?.

steve107 · 21st July 2009, 18:12

still a lot round doncaster area 3 within 100yrds of mine

steffo · 21st July 2009, 18:50

Still lots in the London area too,more so 75's rather than ZT's

I have the only one on the whole of my estate . There was a wedgewood blue one i few years back that i waved to a couple of times ( they never waved back as they probably thought i was a nutter! ) and they sold it for some piece of cheap french rubbish .(who's the nutter now!) I cant imagine selling my tourer as it's economical and luxurious and become a loyal and much loved friend after yet another 3000 mile tour of France in absolute comfort.

martin green · 21st July 2009, 19:15

I agree pete, I LOVE MY TOURER AND WANT TO RUN THAT until it cannot do no more, but also search for a delivery miles rover 75 like the SMG/Wilcox ones are now on my mind to secure a good working rover for the next several years.

However i just cannot imgaine no Rovers in my family home, No it cannot be...........not happening.
