I like the cut and shut idea, it will be a bit like the James May limo. World meet the Rovault. (sorry but it is just a rover with an MG badge ).
Rover 75's are FWD this is RWD MG's have Completely different suspension set up. No walnut dash!!!

Ha ha, who are you trying to convince here? Mind you, it doesn't have a walnut dash so absolutely can't be a Rover. thumbsup

Is the ZT V8 not more BMW 3 series than anything else? I would love one as an occasional drive/practical barge

If we are getting technical, both those VRM plates are illegal from what I can see! No markings etc
