[ROVERNET - UK] BBC E-mail: New lease of life for Longbridge

[Robert Thornton]

Bit of a pale shadow of its former self but at least production is in Birmingham not Beijing.

Shame BMW still owns the Rover name and doesn't look like relinquishing rights to it (they also jealously protect the Mini brand name to the extent that they have prosecuted many of the classic Mini specialists and traders for continuing to use it).

ROVER V8 ENGINE PRODUCTION CONTINUES
Now this is an equally exciting piece of news which appeared on Pistonheads, the TVR owners site:
