I had 2 Rover 75 diesels such a lovely beautiful car. Even today 2024 the car still looves fresh as it was back in 1998 when launched . Lets hope Jag/ L Rover bring back the Rover brand ❤❤
Breathe taking!!! Was world car of the year 2000I think. I love the car, now ow a 2004, last of the production range of 75. Yes, really sad that 100 ears of history paused
Its fascinating to watch this while during the day I have been repairing my 75, seeing the build quality on the car is testament to what Longbridge could do when they had the funding.
Had one of the few ZT260 pre face-lift, superb car when it worked, but it was by far the least reliable car I ever had spending over 10 months off the road I the 3 years of ownership and doing less than 12K as I never felt like venturing far in it after spending a good few hours on the hard shoulder waiting to be rescued.
IF YOU ALL REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHY OUR FANTASTIC BRITISH MOTOR INDUSTRY FAILED YOU CAN BLAME 3 MORONS WHO PRESENTED A POPULAR MOTORING SHOW CALLED TOP GEAR THESE 3 MORONS HAD NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT OUR BRITISH CARS AND UNFORTUNATELY MANY MORE MORONS BELIEVED THEM AND SLOWLY DESTROYED THE BEST MOTOR INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD !!

The destruction of British Engineering was a reflection of the steady trajectory of decline in Britain's fortunes following the abandonment of the post WW2 consensus. Harried along by Thatcher who exported millions of highly skilled jobs abroad, rather than encouraging employers to invest in modern production techniques and equipment. The tragedy of the Rover story is that it was BMW who invested £3 billion in the R75 concept, but it was too late. Overseas volume car production had outpaced Longbridge. The R75 was the best car that Longbridge had ever produced. Then BMW walked away and sold the lot to a bunch of plonkers for £10. It was too late for MG Rover to recover it's position as a volume car producer. Despite the best efforts of everyone who worked at Rover, Blair's govt refused to support this last bastion of home grown engineering talent. The destruction of MG Rover was an avoidable tragedy, but the prevailing view was that Britain could survive on the basis of a service economy, and credit, supported by Casino Capitalism. Wealth has to be created, and that means manufacturing things from blocks of raw materials. It does not come from a gig economy, rising house prices and easy consumer credit. Truss wants to continue and accelerate Britain's decline. The closure of the Rover plant was just another avoidable step on the road to penury for our country. If Labour were a serious alternative to the nonsense peddled by the Tories it would be putting forward policies to encourage the return of millions of real jobs that have been exported since the 1980's. That would really help workers and real businesses. Instead, they want to sing the national anthem and get back to the Casino Capitalism that helps no-one apart from the super rich. It's about time someone gave all the main parties a real lesson in patriotism.
At Last someone who tells it as it is! We have a serious problem it's the system which keeps promoting short termism and the concept of making something is a "dirty job" but the real scandal is how successive govt red and blue have priced out our economy in comparison to others making it unviable to make anything in volume in the UK, but we the electorate keep voting in the very same useless failures in every time who are clueless and are mostly occupy intellectually the lower levels of the elite educational establishments, seriously would you employ any of them? interesting that they all end up in the houses of parliament pretending to solve our problems but in reality have no compunction to destroy and render this great country to the dustbin for their own personal gain!
Ich habe den Rover 75 in British racing green von meinem kranken Vater übernommen. Er braucht relativ viel Benzin die Leute raten mir in zu verkaufen. Aber es ist ein unglaublich schönes und hochwertig verarbeitetes Auto. Ich habe einige Berichte im Internet gefunden nachdem dieses Auto ein gefragter Klassiker werden könnte. Er ist ja mittlerweile ein Youngtimer. Was meint ihr soll ich ihn behalten obwohl er so viel Sprit verbraucht ? Was haltet ihr von der Umrüstung auf einen Elektromotor
thanks for sharing this great video of the rover 75 i own one of the last cars to be built in longbridge well pleased with it and a pleasure to drive and still turns heads while driving
Such a shame, well if more people would have bought Rover and MGs we probably would have still been buying cars from them today. I have owned 2x Rover 400s, 2x rover 25s 1x MG ZR, and now i currently have an MG TF. Literally loved every one of them!
Clarkson thought it was hilarious to mock "Midlander built" cars and do a "Brummie accent", but it had an effect. Drip, drip, gets in people's heads. I'm surprised Hammond, who grew up near the Land Rover plant, didn't stand up for his fellow Brummies

Damn shame our goverment allowed our last remaining mass car production company to fail and then be bought by the Chinese......I always was a Rover fan owning a Montego, Rover 216, 2 x 600s and 2 x 75s and even today the 75 has aged very well still such a beautiful car.
If only that other buyer had got rover instead of them clowns that ran it into the deck. He would have probably turned it into a sports car maker like lotus. He would have cut back on staff but in confident they would still exist now. Surprised the phoenix consortium lasted as long as they did with no new models during there time
It's a beautiful car, even now some 23 years on when the first Rover 75 rolled off the production line it still looks modern compared to other cars of its age. I have two of them. So sad watching this video of a once forgotten model.
Rover 75 was a good car most of the fault was because of the media and the people that think that know everything but don’t understand nothing about cars
! Que lastima que cerrase la marca MG Rover! Eran autos con un toque de distinción a unos precios muy competitivos. España era el segundo país de Europa con más ventas de Rover. ( el primer era lógicamente el Reino Unido).
