The Rover 200/400 Story
Manage episode 432443847 series 3556286
The Rover 200 more than ever encapsulates British Leyland as it went from Government ownership, through its Honda collaboration, to the disastrous BMW marriage, and finally its last gasp for survival as an independent company. And it was one of Rover’s few big successes, having an amazing 29-year lifespan over its many and varied history. The Rover 200 had many guises, from the blue-rinse Triumph Acclaim to the hot hatch MG ZR, and it’s a beloved British car. So why was it such a hit, and why did it all go wrong in the late 90’s?
