Rovers were never my thing but they have quite a long history I guess. Just another manufacturer what couldn't make it work in the end. A few good ones have gone bust over the years.
Did you guys have the Leyland P76? Every one of them had some sort of problem, only thing was is that they were all different problems and we're difficult for the factory to rectify root-causes. Was a bit of a lemon.
I liked me a good Triumph Stag. My chiropractor had one, from new. Was nice. I'd own one today, drive around Sunday's with my tweed *flat cap on, maybe a pipe in my mouth, and some of those leather driving gloves with the knuckles cut out. :)
I had a Spitfire MK1111 from new and a couple of TR-6 (Like they couldn't make a separate designation, I also owned a TR-6 motorcycle). The best of the lot was a '73- Damn thing was fast, a corvette killer.
Ah yes. The stag and the clothing required to drive one. Can you still buy the leather patches for the elbows of your tweed jacket? And Borkum Riff tobacco for the pipe?

Yep. From all I've heard they are just like hiring somebody to help you spend money when they break. Impossibly expensive.
I think that's the case although am not sure.

No, not so far as I know. Our British Leyland products were limited to Triumphs so far as I know. I owned a couple of those.
Ah ok, I think maybe it was an Australian thing. Quite a weird car with so many problems.

I forgot about the tweed jacket with the leather patched on the elbows...Damn it. But never fear, I know a place to get one! Lol.
