Rover 75 Produktion 

Unbeatable elegance - Rover 75 🥂🥂

I’m 14 and a lot of my friends at school think I’m an old man for liking the rover 75 . I think it’s the most beautiful car ever made

I drive a rover 75 diesel still a great car love this model even in 2020 it's still a great car thanx a lot for the video

It's incredible to see how much work goes into building a car.

It's such a shame seeing Longbridge now, I think what people misunderstand is, this wasn't just a factory, this place had/has a lot of heritage, from building war planes, cars and being the centre of the British car industry, Longbridge had a huge role! Interesting fact, Longbridge was the U.K's only self contained car factory at one point, from raw materials being transported in by lorry or train and then a car being the end result, car plants used the 'just in time' method with various parts made elsewhere and delivered just in time. It is sad as I would have loved the opportunity to see Longbridge in its former glory, now I'll never have the chance. When was this made exactly? as I am intrigued.

it is great to have videos like this on youtube to remember the good times at Longbridge and the cars that the factory produced over the many years of loyal service

I worked at the Holden (GMH) Engine factory in Fisherman's Bend, Melbourne, Plant 16. (1990-1992) I suspected that the industry might be doomed even before I started and when inside the culture it only confirmed my doubts. Still I wanted to have the experience of being in industry - manufacturing industry. I was surprised that it lasted another twenty - twenty five years. It employed about 20,000 in the 1970s and just less than 3000 when I started in 1990. The Australian consumers chose Japanese in the 70s, 80s, then European in the 90s - 00s. We sold engines to Korea for a while, but always the lower scale ones. Single cam. We had a foundry and poured steel, but never aluminum. We made 4-cylinder engines from scratch, low tech and assembled Buick V6s from boxes plus made old school V8s on a smaller scale. Subsidies kept us alive. Unions and government, government and industry bargain hunters. By 2016 the Aussie car industry was doomed. In '17 it died.

Thay were the best cars made and allways will be. Rover you will be missed.

We had a few lads, from longbridge maintenance start at TRW, back in 2001. One drove a 75, which was part of his retirement package. Very nice cars

who else who watched this tried to listen to what the songs were on the radio in the background? i know one was oh baby i love your ways around 25 mins! awesome video and such a shame its gone. but there are plenty of followers out there including me! mg for life

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 ❤❤

Bought a 75 2.5 yrs ago .Had 36k on the clock.Had to spend a few quid on it including the head gasket.The bodywork was immaculate.I only paid 400 for it+ 350 for the gasket and fitting.Still got the car today.Just been told it needs a spring and brake pads and discs on the front.No biggie.Car still only has 42k on the clock.Absolute bargain.I got the 1.8 club blue.

I get all excited when I see the 45's in production, thinking that any Midnight Blue one could be mine

Love the soundtrack, reminds me of the BMC adverts back in tge 50s and 60s.

miss rover if i was rich i wud get rover back and runing rove made good cars

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!

Had one of the last ever build for ten years. An absolutely great car with nearly no problems(Thermostat housing cracked and the inlet maifold had to be replaced). If Rover comes back to Produktion, i will surely buy one. I love british cars. And i say that as a german ;).

RIP Rover 1878-2005 you will be missed

My Rover 45 1.8 year 2000 is still going strong with 151k miles. It has been a superb car it really has.

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.

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

Great Car for a great Company! I love them!

I Love Rover 😞❤️ I’ve Owned 2 Red Rover 45s And A Razen Brown Rover 75 Only 2 Ever Made In That Rare Monogram Colour! .

I did my apprenticeship with rover in 98. Remember the trophy yellow/red/blue cars turning up on a transporter. I loved the 2.0 v6 zs in blue with the big spoiler. Yours now for £500 on autotrader, ☹.

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

Sad its all over for Rover, mine passed its MOT at 130k miles last week, 0 defects again.. had her since new in 2002,

I have a 75 since 2006 manufactured in 2002. Great car, perfect exemple of the refined bristisch style . Will keep this car until I die. Difficult though to find garages prepared to make maintenance of the car in France. May be easier in UK I suppose.

Brilliant!!! Thank you sooo much for this video!!

Im glad to drive 75's with kv6 2.5l , its the best car

I've never had a car longer than 3 years, except my Rover 75. I've had it 7 years and I don't want anything else

I used to work in B sub assy plant Swindon and used to make longitudinal panels that run from the front wheel arches including the suspension damper unit we had one robot on out zone which we called robbie because it robbed us of work my jig was a real killer people dont realise how much sweat goes into building cars my k series 75 is still going strong at 99k its a cowley one with black sills thats how you can tell without opening the bonnet all the longbridge cars have bmw lumps

Lots of my family used to work there. Sad to see it go.

I sweated blood making the floor panels for these

Nice to see this film, the company should never have been allowed togo the way it did a real shame and lose. Just traded in my MGZT 2.5 v6. Superb car and i still have my MGF trophy and 1988 MG montego Efi. Nice to see an mgf trophy like mine at the end of the film also.

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

Rover 75 , probably the best car in the world.

Very clean factory. I have a 2004 75 CDT Connoisseur. M.

Fascinating footage, I had a 75 diesel auto, a great car for comfort and driveability.

Love mine i got a diesel 2ltr cdt shes on 60k shes reg sep 2002. What a car

RIP paint plant B (25/45/TF) it is now just an empty building from 2 weeks ago. Everything has been stripped out.

Very interesting video Thank you

Had a rover 214, not the greatest car I've owned, but boy it went like a rocket and strangely enough the one car remember the best. No not a boy racer at the time, just an ordinary family man.

Car of the year - when it was launched.

my uncle still has two `brand new` rover 75`s. He was partner in a dealership that went bust in 2003 and some of the inventory `found its way into his barn` , he also has one of the original mg metros from 1982 that was a demonstrator and only has 230 miles. I keep threatening to put them on ebay when he dies :-O

so sad its gone the heart of the midlands

i have a 2.5 v6 140.000 miles , passed mot 3 days ago , gos like a rocket love it , would also like the 4.6 v8 too

Me encanta esta marca. Una pena que tuviese ese final tan amargo

Best car ever made

Thank you mate.

Yes BRG is beautiful colour specialy for connoisseur with cream leather and wooden steering wheel.Any way ,always water in the boot

El mejor coche que ha hecho vover(y de bmw)hasta la fecha,la pena es que la comprase bmw,fue la tumba de rover?yo tengo un rover 75 del año 2004,impecable y va de maravilla,ni un solo problema.

❤❤❤❤❤

What clolour is best for 75??Midnight blue ,black or dorchester red??

26:57 I LOVE YOU ROVER 45 SEDAN

the great chinese takeaway so sad but true

Grande Rover.

! 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).

Im pretty sure this is Longbridge because you can see the other 25, 45s and TFs being built.

Wish I had a Rover 827 Fastback.. Whoo those cars are pretty!

No only diesels have BMW engines. The engines used were exactly the same regardless of whether they were built in Cowley or Longbridge - apart from the addition of the Ford V8s to the range.

Tengo el v6 2.5 connouseir es una maquina lo único que en Uruguya hay poco repuestos pero es precioso auto con un andar incomparable el mio es automático

Nice video

anyone know how many 75's got shipped out to mexico? Also would expect now to see a few mgf's here in the usa under the 25year import rule. here in the year 2020.

Отличный Автомобиль

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.

Once Engaged was great and it’s cars

Car is beautiful,connoisseur or limited edition

so sad to see the old rover works all housing know and more shops the heart beat of the midlands as gone i wonder who is to blame

سيارة راقية وذات جودة عالية وتصميم متميز

propriétaire d'une 75 depuis 10 ans je la chouchoute comme au premier jour

Que autos mas fieles con ese motor honda

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.

My 75 has only done 30000 still purrs😽

Insgesamt gesehen hat die Autowelt mit dem Verschwinden der englischen Automarken einen großen Verlust erlitten . Ich möchte heute nicht darüber schreiben , wieso , warum und wessen Schuld das Desaster ist , ich möchte hier einmal ganz emotional schreiben . In meiner Lehrzeit gab es noch englische Autos , ich hatte einen Triumph TR 4 und war , entgegen dem allgemeinen Gerede , einen äußerst robusten Wagen der viel Spaß gemacht hat , und nicht dauernd unter Ölverlust und andere Undichtigkeiten die den englischen Autos nachgesagt wurden . Als der Rover 75 kam wollte ich unbedingt einen haben , was jedoch zu dem Zeitpunkt meine finanzielle Möglichkeiten überstieg , ich musste sogar meinen TR 4 verkaufen weil ich zum Militär musste . Als ich nach 2 Jahren Dienst wieder ins zivile Leben zurück kam , waren meine Ersparnisse deutlich gesunken , um genau zu sein , es waren keine Ersparnisse mehr vorhanden , beim Militär kann man eben nur überleben , aber nicht leben . Dann kam Heirat , Kinder usw usw usw . So blieb der Traum vom Rover 57 unerfüllt , bis heute . Aber vielleicht geschehen ja noch Wunder . Das Wunder sollte sich aber nicht mehr zu lange Zeit lassen , von wegen der Lebensuhr .

What I wouldn't give for a Rover 75

i had an x reg 2.0 v6 75 went to the south of france in it and back not a hiccup an armchair ride there and back

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.

The BMW designed handbrake mechanism on the 75`s and MG ZT`s is pants! Separate drum brakes outboard of the discs . Why? Complexity for the sake of it. Lol . I like my mobile Armchair.

Carn't fault the Rover 75 diesel I drive.

Ich war einer der ersten der eş en 825 SD in München besass 1994 , seit dem bin ich Rover fan , 99 kam der 75 raus , das Design kann sich heute noch sehen lassen vor allem das Interieur mit dem 75 sollte es den Durchbruch schaffen leider hsben es die Riesen Ford und Bmw Rover platt gelegt und die Chinesen haben es komplett ausser den Marken Namen Rover(Saic) Markenrechte hat wohl Bmw noch und Range Rover wurde über Ford sn (Tata) verkauft...wirklixh schade

yeeaahh is true

ROVER 75 SALOONS LEATHER SEATS SUNROOF 1.800

Such a shame. Sold by people who couldn't give a damn ( British Aerospace, who could have made even more money on the brand if they invested more into it) to Germans who couldn't give a damn & sold to a bunch of asset-stripping bastards called the Phoenix Group. It's sad as if I had the money, I'd of bought it & tried to make it as good as the luxury German cars.

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

Wen you have dryve in a Rover 75 v6 aut 150 hp, you forgot fest your lada.

I had a proper Rover; a 1956 Rover 90, a real car.

I wonder how many are now a tin of beans

RIP rover,could have been so much more,Phoenix and Tony Blair couldn't give a fuck
