How Many Duotones Were Produced

Knowlesey145 · 24th October 2010, 18:39

Hi everyone, My grandad has a 05 facelift rover 75 connisseur se in tempest grey and starlight silver. I have never seen any other duo tones so are they rare. Are there any production numbers ?

Thanks.

Oh, you couldn't get me a real photograph of it could you

Don't have any production numbers for you, but here are all the other combinations available:

I have one..

Only a few were made, exact numbers are not known. MG Rover made them available in 2004 and there were a list of 12 available colour combinations.
Only 3 from the list are known at the moment.

2 Black over Firefrost
1 Royal Blue over Starlight Silver

There are one or two other combinations including the Rover 75 V8 and these must have been a special order..

So your Grandfathers 75 is very rare and we look forward to a few pictures..

I think the duotones are an acquired taste but if i was to have one it
would be like your grandads ....Stunning

Often thought about which colour would go with Wedgewood Blue.It seems ripe for duotoning,(is that a word?)
