Why Rover crashed, part 3 

I was going to make the same comment. Yes, Richard and Hyacinth in their light blue Rover 75. "Mind the lorry, Richard!" "Minding the lorry..."

I went to Silverstone as a kid on Rovers dime to watch the touring car race. I still have the massive flag they gave me to wave.

Love the 75 and always remember Richard and Mrs Bucket in Keeping up Appearances in their old Rover. I'd love a mint 75 for a weekender.

Sad. Somebody should go into small series production of the MG TF and MGR at least. No need to focus the company around selling thousands of cars when there's a market for a few hundred or a thousand cars per year.

Is there a part 4 coming?

Where's part 4??

I would have bought a redesigned MG two-seater roadster if somebody had gotten the idea to partner with a US car company and launch one over here. We should have been more willing to drive our British allies' cars.

part 4?

@johnny liebling. Your completely full of crap. Rover didn't have access to the entire BMW parts bin as BMW wouldn't let them. BMW bought rover for one thing only, mini. The 75 and mgzt are an extremely good car. Well engineered, well built and well specced.

I never knew that the bosses of a company could be so stupid

@discocreator76 I'm in the US. Not really up on what's going on lately with the company.

@mondeost2202008 agreed

25 was not a Honda design.

i wonder how the mini stood in all this..? perhaps it would have been successfull if our car remained in british hands ...?

Rover crashed because the cars were shit. They had access to BMW parts Bin and the 75 was the best they could do. Every car Rover EVER designed and built was a total shit box.

I owned a Rover 75 Connoisseur SE for five glorious years and was really sad to part with it but it was time to move on. The car was marvellous. Totally reliable, it had a classy interior and a svelte exterior. It was supremely comfortable and with the silky 2.0ltr turbo diesel was even easy to run. But then most people who owned a 75 know this already. I now know that if it had not been for the apparent morons mentioned in these videos I would have been able to replace it with a newer evolution of a Rover. The government don't get away scot free though... they put millions into Nissan, Honda and Toyota while MG Rover sank beneath the waves of incompetence. It is all so sad.
