They have been doomed for years - rovers just not good enough to compete with whats on offer from other manufacturers & sticking a bodykit on the same old shitty cars just aint gonna make a difference!!

The suppliers have stoped supplying them and they have stopped production.
HSMC is still looking into buying them. Rover / MG have over 60 people in china at the mo working on a deal.
You not been watching the news they have declared it in the last hour as the night shift came in.
Goverment refused to give them money.

Colin Yes MG Rover is a great loss in my eyes,
The Metro 6R4 was a crackign wee car
The MG Maestro 2.0 turbo could fairly shift
the 89-95 Saxx Chassis Rover 200 was brilliant
Afte 95 everything kinda went doiwn hill with the new Rover 200 having seal, ECu, engine and waterpump problems (water pumps were always a problem with K Series engines) in 2000 Rover gave the Rover 200 a new Front panel, Headlights and bumper and changed the name to 25, they did the Same with the 400 to 45.. Some new facelift....
In 2004 they done the same again with the 25/45 and now the 75 got the same change the face attitude this time they done the rear aswell!!
Imho if Rover will still building cars like they were 10 years ago I'd deffinately be on their waiting list for cars!!
and Yes i have owned a 1989 Rover, and i used to work for them!! MY Rover i still to this day think it was faster than My Corsa ever was!!
Pic was just before the wing was sprayed to match the car

Yup heard earlier.....dont BMW own them now????
nope they sold them for £1 about 3 years back but sold range rover and kept mini leaving them with MG and Rover.
Might go and look at the dealerships as i imgiane they will be dirty cheap now. No point having a franachise of cars that ain't bad anymore
and they sold Land Rover not range rover. Land Rover is the brand Range Rover is a model
Correct and who own Land Rover now??
FORD!!! (BASTARDS!!)

Soooooooooooooo....
Are they or arent they :boogle:
IMO they have made farkin awful cars for a very long time. I dont mind the 200 in the above picture, but werent they suppsed to have lethal handling Anyway i alwaysd thought the purple ones look nice
In short, they suck, another english faliure, just like damon hill, tim henman etc etc. Dont know why everyone gets so attached to things that are shit (no digs at my corsa colin  )
The 75 was half an effort but IMO appealed to a part of the market that was too narrow to make them sell well.
The MG cars were a good idea for people called kevin who always wanted a modded car but know nout about cars so they went out and got an MG out of the box
Mind u hate to say this, the new ZS is quite nice

Same thing
no Ban means i cannot resit my test for a minimum length of time usually 6months to a year .. Revoke means i could have resat my test as soon as i recieved my provisional back from the DVLA with my newly aquired 3 points on it back in April last year
Just never bothered my arse tho, Will have to ge tmy finger out if i want another corsa tho
