It sounds like good news. Although, I agree that Rover being a British brand with the hertiage to match it's sad that it will become Chinese in ownership. But, the owners may have scope for design, engineering and building of the cars to be in the UK.
If you look at so many brand names that are associated with certain countries it's easy to see that it's a global marketplace. With so many iconic British brands having gone overseas in the past it's fair to assume that Rover would have done likewise if they hadn't gone belly up in 2005.
I mean Jaguar, Land Rover, Rolls Royce, Mini and Bentley are all under "foreign" ownership.
It's better to see Rover come back from the dead than continue to fade into the annals of history.
Who knows? If it's in existence there is always a chance it could be British again, one day.
