Good luck with that one !

Maybe you could get the original 75 Tourer rear bumper tooling back from China.
No good to them as they don't make the Tourer.

Plus the fact SAIC/NAC don't have an injection moulding press big enough to take it.

OH, It also weighs about 80 ton in all.

I think I have worked out who Thomas is! It is the same member who,just a minute,you’ve guessed it. No need for me to carry on then, but I will.You will all be surprised when the first vehicle leaves the track, as I will. Watch this space for an announcement soon.

It took SD1 to begin the hammering l think, so more like the late seventies.

I may be able to assist with that one 😎

More concerning is the suite of tools for all the interior plastics!

Why stop at reintroducing the Rover 75?, lets have a trawl through the entire Rover, Austin Rover, British Leyland, BMC etc etc back cataloges.
I'd like to put in an order of a beige Austin Maestro, an Ambassador, an Allegro (Or maybe if you use some Rover 75 parts you could recreate the 1500 Vanden Plas?), Oh and A Mark 1 Mini Cooper S.
Now where can I send my postal order with the deposit?

If you really are genuine and serious about a business, why not start by getting NLA parts remanufactured for cars that are already on the road...

Well we're all going to look REALLY foolish if this happens. Perhaps best to wish good luck and wait and see.
