    Default did they ever build a coupe?

    just saw this......

    nice to see there is a following even in Spain!

    But this looks like a concept - does it still exist and was a road-legal version ever built?

    Yes they built one, originally a Rover, now with MG badges stuck on it. It is in the visitor centre at Longbridge I think.

    what a shame. That's a beautiful car. why did it never enter production or was it planned and then the demise? But the 75 has been in existance for a long time, a coupe could have and should have been in production before '04/'05?

    I still see the 200 coupe's around and they are still a nice car. Was the last coupe they made (or were there a few 800s after that)

    The 75 coupe, as shown, was only ever a mock up shell with no working mechanicals...... sadly.

    Can you imagine that with the V8 in it !!! That would've sold by the bucket load. The 75's & ZT's are something but that would've been beautiful/awesome !
