Monogram Colours

What monongram colours have you seen on a ZS?
I've seen Orange grove which is a stunning colour..... twice...one of those really strange things, on the same day! (one a hatch, the other a saloon, so definitely not the same car!)
I'll hopefully be seeing 200Bubs's ZS tonight (typhoon)
Aint seen any other monograms on ZSs which is a shame....

I've seen Ralphs Twilight in the flesh very nice indeed.
I've also seen that light blue colour before.....can't think of its name though

If someone could find the pictures of the monogram colour cars and stick over here it would be fairly useful. I can't think of where I have seen them though.

Either MGRover.org or XPF have pics of almost all (if not all) the models in every colour.

EMS did (or maybe still do) have one in Auroura (sp?). Is that Monogram?

Yes they do thats Andy's ZT-T which is stunning!

We had a ZS in Mirage at our Open Day in 2006. I've also seen ZSs in Typhoon, Poseidon, Twilight (obviously!), Celestial and Orange Grove.

SMC in High Wycombe had a MK2 ZS 180 saloon in Aurora with a custom black leather interior about 18 months ago (but no extreme spoiler

). Apparently it used to be in the visitor centre at Longbridge.

Its little stories like that that make the MG Rover brand so interesting!

I was only saying to Ralph (seems I talk to Ralph a lot I know

)

If NAC ensured that each new garage had a different monogram ZS (or 7 or whatever) customers would truly be able to appreciate how nice they look in real life. One of the best photos yet of a monogram colour car is Steves ZS 180, as it does give a good hint as to what the car really looks like.

Seeing a car like that I am sure many people with a strong budget would have parted a little extra money than normal.
