Anyone know about this RHD car in Germany? Bit of a mystery:
Rover 75 V8 in IAE Chatsworth
https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/r...4392?cldtidx=3

The photos show it to be a Chatsworth (RHD) but otherwise looks identical to #215 the LHD Geneva show car, which recently sold for a little less. The leather hasn't got the black piping (not SPJ; is it even sandstone? Photo could be misleading, but looks smokestone-ish), and doesn't appear to be Conny spec style either! The database doesn't show any car to have the spec, colour and trim combination as far as I can see. Sitting on 18" Vortex's too. Could it be the NEC show car? That spec. shouldn't exist, but obviously does.

Perhaps a better German speaker than I am could try and mail/speak to them to find out the VIN !

How it came to be languishing in the west of Germany is a mystery. Any ideas anyone?
Does look like the highest asking price for a RHD car to date though, although LHD have fetched more.

Vin #874 is the only one with cream sports leather seats in Chatsworth and RHD.

Exactly, Nich. The only on that matches! .... except #874 happens to be a Tourer.

Ah hah, good spot. Missed that. Another MGR mystery car.

... which is why I suspect it may be the NEC show car, being the correct colour and trim (as far as press photos go).
Press cars, show cars and so on often have multiple personalities (even down to the "make"). Unless anyone claims to know better, I imagine it could be that one. No nearer finding the VIN and/or its history.

Have a look in the gallery at VIN #633, it's shown as having black piping on the VIN lists but the photos tell a different story.
