Rover, history has shown the Rovers are never worth very much, however the 75 is the last British mass produced car so maybe, maybe not.

Then we have the issue of electric vehicles taking over which may or may not throw a spanner in the works. In future years i can just imagine parents telling their children not to go anywhere near that thing because they are dangerous and will kill you.

Basically, I think it's anyone's guess. If we could predict things like this we would all be lottery winners. Which reminds me, best get my ticket for tomorrow's euro millions lol.
Back in the late 60’s I used to buy Bike magazine (I still laugh at Ogri!) and they ran a story set in the future where only electric vehicles existed. The story was of a guy who blasted through a town on a Norton Commando (I think?) chased by the Police on their electric bikes

Of course the Commando creamed them.

Not sure how the story ended - I seem to remember they shot the Commando rider.

Considering when the story was written - it was quite prophetic.
