Re: Numbers change
Because the Rover 75 was a historical model number, and they wanted to hark back to it with a traditional design.

Re: Numbers change
And remember that the 75 replaced the 600 and the 800. The 25 and 45 came later as stop gap updates of the existing 200 & 400. Had B** not pulled out, the replacements for the 25 and 45 were expected to be called 35 & 55.

Re: Numbers change
The 75 was probably named as such as it was replacing the 600 and the 800 as an all in one model and as they
were done with triple numbers it couldn't be the 700 so 75 fit in nice, just guessing on my part, you never know
they may have left the gap to fill with more models, if they got on the MPV style vehicle bandwagon like FORD,
RENAULT and CITROEN they may have thrown in a 55.
