So, pre-production in 75 terms means anything but?

Indeed! The 75 lickers might be able to tell us if it was a launch model, I remember someone having 2 on here, can't remember who!

I do really want a V8 Tourer and have already been to see one that, although good value, was a bit of a wreck. I really want an SE spec though as it has full leather (along with other goodies) rather than the shitty quality half leather*, and a pre-facelift so it feels more like a cow than a wetsuit. They're proving hard to find so I was keeping an eye on this as the price travelled south. Problem is the front end in the pictures, even by later MGR standards, is appallingly aligned. After a bit of digging I found the owner on Facebook and when trawling though his wall stumbled across a blurry picture of a silver ZTT hanging over what appears to be a tyre-wall on a trackday....

Were there any pre-facelift V8s? 425th off the production line is probably in reality pre-launch production, Rover would have produced perhaps a couple of thousand ready for the launch so that every dealer could have some in the showroom and whoever had put their money down beforehand. True pre-production are often cubed because they don't meet type approval or to save on tax.

Here’s one. It’s not an Estate mind, but an SE and perfect in every other respect... bar the price. £12000.

Crikey.  It's only gone and become

296ex5z.gifof nonsense from me.  I'm so sorry.

 

 

To celebrate, how about a forgotten 90s car with a 80s engine, the pre-widebodylift Alfa 155

 

Alfa Romeo 155 1.8 T.Spark

 

It has no cambelt, it’s a chain. It’s had no accidents or bumps or scrapes, it’s recently had a re-spray

Full service history

 

£3,500

I miss my old 155.  Doesn't seem expensive this one, what with the old 8v engine instead (late-plate madness) this MUST BE the most classic and collectable TIPO ever.  Probably.

Either I know this or it's Ghosty's old car.

This is indeed my old car.

 

Ad neglects to mention that the head gasket's been replaced, but the cambelt/exhaust are news to me (unless he thinks I did the cambelt, I didn't). Seems to be in much the same condition except there's a dog in it now and the repair to the arch has failed - but I think it was just fillered for the MOT. Sills seem to be going again too.

 

He's selling it at a loss as he only bought it off me for £400.
