I'de be willing to bet Rovers quality is a hell of a lot better now that it was in the 90s prior to Ford's ownership.

Unless when you say "good" you mean 1950s and 60s

The idea of Rover's are good, but the execution of Rover's haven't been good. Pretty much the same as Jaguar.

I dig old Rovers, but if I ever had one, I'd pull out everything until it was a chassis and start over. Maybe I'd keep the engine if it had the aluminum v8 since it was a GM design, but the rest would be sold on ebay.

Does 'good' mean that if it's not leaking in the driveway, then it's out of fluids?

Good: Kellys Rover (hahahahaha)

It's a damn shame we're looking to sell them as the fleet Defender platform would make a viable underpinning for more than a few product lines. Bronco just to give an example.
