In this video we explore one of the most incredible and mysterious Rover cars ever made, one that until now has not been revealed the Rover Bravo, with the help of the Bertone Archive we find the missing link, the Rover SD1s lost replacement from 1980 and ask the question, would it have been successful if launched by British Leyland to go head to head with BMW, Mercedes and the other big players of the time.
Plotting it’s lineage within the concepts such as the Rover R16 the Rover 800 replacement to the Rover 55 to replace the 400 and 200 and join the 75 as a new luxury Rover range and even the Rover R30.
We explore how each of these incredible projects ended and what happened to these mysterious lost cars. Please note that I have tried my best to verify this information, until proven otherwise it will be presented as fact.
