Own every Rover.
Rover's story starts in 1878 in Coventry with the bicycles of Starley and Sutton. The first cars date from 1904. Land Rover was born in 1948 as a separate brand. BMW owned Rover from 1994 to 2000. The last company collapsed in 2005 under the name MG Rover.

Rover 25s were left unfinished on the Longbridge line when MG Rover went into receivership on 15 April 2005 and 6,000 workers were laid off. After its assets were sold to China's Nanjing Automobile in July, 1,000 of them were called back to finish those cars.

Under its Rover skin sat a Honda Accord. A small Rover team worked on site in Japan to develop the 600, which was built alongside Honda's own car in the UK; only its turbodiesel and turbo petrol engines were Rover's. In 1996 Rover recalled 21,634 cars to check the steering rack.
