2003+, but this was the 2004 Tour de France... |

Wheels almost make me think MG ZT-T... |

Perhaps an MG ZT as it looks sportier (eg wheels)? Has both Rover and MG window displays to confuse us. |

Maybe it was...I remember both Rover 75 and MG ZT-T being used by some cycling teams (such as Fdjeux, here above) in Tour de France in years between 2002 and 2005 -- Last edit: 2010-09-22 17:01:25 |

Afaik MGs have exposed exhaust pipes, whereas 75 are hidden - so this would be an MG |

Interesting thought and you may be right, but the other possibility is that petrol and diesel exhausts are arranged differently for both the Rover and MG. |

It is indeed a MGZT Tourer. I have one. The molded bodywork at the rear is different from the 75 and the 75 has a chrome side strip and valance where the MG has body coloured strips. Cheers. |

Agreed. |

Which model have you got? |

It is ZT diesel. The chrome trim around the pipes tell you it's an MG, not a Rover (which has a hidden pipe) and the downward exit of the pipes indicate that it is a diesel. Petrol cars have straight pipes. That is the same for Rover or MG but you cannot really see it on the Rovers. |
