When Rover Met BMW

[CaMIRO]

Hadn't seen this in a few years, always seems like I'm watching it for the first time. Thought someone else might appreciate seeing it again.

While I'm at it, could someone offer some context for this ad?

 

 

The choice of imagery always amazed me, given the circumstances.

The Midlands explodes and the North is full of bombs. True story.

Someone should ask the fuckwit who gave this the nod and see if he's as bullish now.

Hmm...rebuilding, perseverance... The long road back from oblivion...previous generations had to deal with all this so we could build our cars...?

Too bad Row-vahh didn't wait until they had the 2.7 to sell their cars here in the US, because they might have succeeded. Now the cars are orphans, second only to Peugeots in terms of rarity. If you see one in the metal, it's more likely to be rusting in place.

Such a shame they bombed...
