they will ship stuff over.. but you cant get the lights as they are LHD only. China at present doesn't sell the 750 to any RHD countries. I have tried over the last few months to see what I can get. They have told me that they can ship a car over.. how much to do it and taxes etc.. not sure.. but you would have to change the front end - lights again..

maybe one day....... ????

and I will say as good as I think they look etc.. they dont "look" as nice or well built as our 75's/ZT's.

Front bumper of the 750 does look a little VW like as does the dash.
Also is looking out of place against the newer looking 3,5 & 6.

I do like the lights, if the existing ZT/75 lights had similar integrated LED's / indicators it would be spot on. These 750 ones also give a 'wider' look to the front i think. The bumper, doesn't look as well finished as the ZT/75's - somehow blander looking.....but it is hard to update a design that is so good and to make it compete with current cars etc. The rear end i don't mind actually, kind of looks like a Merc.....but again, the original is better. And certainly the interior is far better thought out and designed in the ZT/75 than the 750. But, at the same time, it is good that it is still being produced, albeit in slightly changed form, so would rather see this than nothing. If they were sold here....would i buy one if looking for a brand new car....yes probably. But its a shame some of the designs that were being penciled by MGR prior to 2005 for succeeding models could not have been turned into production now....

This.
It does look a little odd next to the more modern looking 3, 5 & 6.
As if it is made by a completely different manufacturer.

I much prefer the previous shape premium bumper. It's got more going on.

I was advised they were only made for lefthand drive cars
