Hi and welcome. Nice list of cars you have there.

[Estebes]

Thanks!

By the way there is two chassis #004?
The green one that is only the bobyshell nowadays (saloon - BU51JHA)?

And the 4x4 freelander mule (tourer - BF52UGG)?

Hi Alex, The green bodyshell is the remains of 005. There are two 007s, however, a RHD one (mine) and a LHD one in Spain!

BF 52 UGG is definitely 004 which is a standard ZTT in x power grey....

BU 51 JHA is in anthracite and it's history ( I believe ) is unknown

The freelander running gear was fitted to X541 JOH

There is some talk that BF 52 UGG was running freelander running gear, but it would have had to have been converted back to a V6 or diesel car first

In DVLA the BF52UGG still a 260:

The vehicle details for BF52 UGG are:
Date of Liability 01 07 2010
Date of First Registration 05 12 2002
Year of Manufacture 2002
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 4600CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour GREY
Vehicle Type Approval
Vehicle Excise Duty
Rate for vehicle
6 Months Rate £112.75
12 Months Rate £205.00

Looking closer the offset of the wheels of BF52UGG are similar to X541JOH and probably still running 4x4!
Just look the ground clearance, like the R75. Possible an MG ZT allroad project?
And about the wheel/tyre combination, a little bit too high for an MG?

"Interestingly, pic number 7, which is billed as a ZT V8 development car, is nothing of the sort. It is actually an MG ZT-T 4×4 development mule, using the underpinnings of the Land Rover Freelander." said Ian in post #11

About the 75 limo in the same page:

"I know that NAC/ SAIC MG used the Rover Limo, which was re-badged as an MG, to travel around the Longbridge site." Said Michael post #48

"Just for information purposes, the Rover 75 LWB “Limo” was not crushed. I live over the road from the factory (or what’s left of it) and have seen the car on the road several times. I even caught it leaving Morrisions the other day! I will snap some pics the next time I see it and send them in.
There are also a fair few 06 plate cars floating around – they are obviously MG Rover-built so were probably left on site after the collapse and registered by NAC and/SAIC Motor for staff use." said JJ port 57

Sorry I made some confusion about the BU51JHA.
The green bodyshell is really number #005 but I don't have registration number of that car.
The BU51JHA I tought that was another chassis #004 (instead that I said before) because the picture that Alejandro puts on the topic of #007 RHD.

So what's the chassis number of BU51JHA?

And what about the Vin of the next ones:

BU53RXF
BU53RXP
BU53RNY
BU53RNZ
BU53RXC
BU53RXF
BU03BGX

[greeners]

BU53RXF - #036
BU53RXP - #185
BU53RNY - RHD ZT 190 (was green and untaxed for 4 years)
BU53RNZ - #025
BU53RXC - #035
BU53RXF - #036
BU03BGX - #022

[greeners]

As for BU51JHA, the DVLA have it as a ZT260, although the tax ran out in April 2004, so it's probably been crushed, but I have no VIN for it.

As a stab in the dark, I'd go for 002 or 005

Just found this from the gentleman site

BU51JHA is SPL2706AX13SDV408 and is an estate car

[colintf]

#005 has been over at AE Wilcox for several years now.

:cool:

002 wasn't the PAVe car actually (or in more recently years) the white/Zircon Silver car located in the south?

About BU51JHA the reg. number gone to another car.

Nope, it's still on the original car.....as it comes up unlicensed, which probably means it's either sitting in a corner under a sheet, or more likely crushed and no one's told the DVLA it's been scrapped.
