I suggest it is your eyes that is slightly blurred

, I think it was said on .org that it said V8 but then sober people zoomed in and said it was V6

TBh my eyes and head are a bit shot today, out for a meal and beer last night, first time for a long time.

Shanghai Automotive bought the intellectual property rights to the Rover 75. This is their production car slightly redesigned, Quite tastefully IMHO and badged them Roewe 750.

I take it they didn't buy the names MG and Rover as well?

Are they planning to sell the car in Europe and/or the UK? The interior looks terrific.

Nanjing got the MG name along with the rights to the ZR and ZT and TF. SAIC tried to buy the Rover name, but failed when Ford exercised its right of first refusal and bought it instead.

Rover at that time still belonged to BMW and Nanjing have MG, they'll be producing the TF in spring probably kits shipped from china to be assembled at longbridge. And we all hope, but this is pure conjecture at the mo' the ZT will rise again in a slightly different format.

Ford have bought it to take it out of circulation, thus protecting the Land Rover brand.

Got to hand it to the Chinese. To get a final product out in such a short space of time, from a standing start, is no mean achievment.
I can see the Chinese achieving similar success to the Japanese, Doesn't bode well for what remains of Britain's car industry. Only hope I'm wrong.
