rovers are that good that they just wouldn't sell in sufficient numbers to sustain a loss making manufacturer.
Personally i dont like them or dislike them, but the car buying public make their choices and Rover just diodn't cut it.
The old models were different class though, the old tank, what was it called a P75?, juicy, but what a cruiser. |

Probably the worst Rover in terms of being thirsty was the JET 1 (a P4 75 Cyclops) back in the early 50's engine idle speed was 13,000 RPM, maximum power attained at 26,000 RPM.
This continued development to 1965 culminating in Graham Hill/ Jackie Stewart attaining a 10th position at LeManns, the car lives on in a museum - jet powered,
Sorry for the  history lesson - Mike |

Could be because one is a JPEG and one is a PNG.

I definitely got some ideas for modifying my current, rather plain Toyota splash screen... ;)
Yup, blatantly stealing...
...and then I'm going to sell it on eBay!!! (just kidding about the eBay part)

Only joking of course, but if you've had that many Rovers, don't they last

No probs with any of them. Only sold cause I dont keep cars long. Had nearly 40 different cars in 18 years! Wife's got the ZR at the min.
