Rover MG 2000 Scenario
rover mg in 2000
BMW have just sold up for £10 leaving £1 billion in the pot for running the company but with wages totaling over £150,000 a week and the company turning a massive lose that wont last long
BMW took all the info on the new car design r30 (which would later become the 1 series)
With no new designs in the pipe line and no new engines to meet euro 4 emissions can you design the new mid sized car to rival the gold and focus code name RDX 60
And a range of engines to fit in it while face lifting the other current models
no easy task and for those that don't know the rdx 60 never made it to sale in fact it never made it past design mock ups and well we all know what happened to rover
interesting to read up on tho i was only 15 - 16 when it happened and didn't pay much attention now I'm older is amazing some of the stuff that went on
The rover 75 still lives on today as the Roewe 750 which is a highly updated Chinese version indeed the new mg6 we have seen launch in the UK is a continuation of the rdx 60 as it used the same platform the rdx60 was going to thats right the rover 75
Pictures of the rdX 60 below for those that have never seen
R30 which accorded to what i read still sits in Munich some where
All pictures and most the info from aronline which is a great sit
