I sooo want to know the history behind that one?

Not recognised when putting an insurance quote on Go Compare!?

I must admit i had to look twice when i pulled up behind it!

[ZS-GIXER]

Odd to have that sat around for 4 years before registering it!!!

[big_wasa]

There are more than you think floating around.

[Smokey]

I'd love to get my hands on an unregistered mk2 180 and register it now! Screw the tax hike lol!

[Ritchy]

wil have been sat about for some amount of time haha,

[RalphG]

May be an import and given a new registration relative to date of import.

[Ritchy]

perhaps but it is rhd

Someone over on metropower.org.uk had a 52 plate Rover 100, which is brilliant when they stopped on 'S' lol

There is a garage round Bristol way, I think it is called Hursley Hill Motors or something similar which still has some unregistered cars at 2005 list prices.

[talkingcars]

just yahoo'd them, a couple of ZT190 and a Rover 75 with delivery milage only.

[talkingcars]

They've also got at least 4 mk1 ZS with less than 10k on the clock



but




they are nearly £7k!

there's a load of cars in strange places sitting about. The Subaru garage outside Edinburgh has a brand new 2007 RB320 that hasn't been registered yet, and I heard a story recently about a garage that found an unregistered 1970s Mini in a storage shed that hadn't been opened until the garage went bust and they were about to knock it down!


The SV is another good example, they pop up occasionally with totally the wrong year on them and low miles.

I did see a Mk2 45 near me a while back with a 2008 plate on it, but I've never seen it again since

[zsserbia]

Last year I've seen advertised for sale on a local website Mk2 75, '05 display model with zero miles on the clock and steering on the wrong side. It was beautiful, so was the price - 25k euros.

Would the P.D.I include a cam belt change ? Surely it would have to ? :confused:

[Maxxed_Ross]

I dunno, I suppose it would need it due to the age rather than the miles covered. The belts are propably starting to perish lol

Well yes ...anyone ever wondered just how old that "Genuine MG Rover" timing belt kit is you've bought ?

One of those Celestial Blue zeds has been for sale since I bought my mk2 in March 2006, but they wanted £11,995 for it then.

[coreygraham180]

this 75 looks a bit odd to me ????

looks like a 25 backend with a 75 front
