Rover Sports Register Forum

Im curious how big rover were before they became defunt?.

As i remember going to prague and having a wager weither i would see any rovers or not, Luckily i won finding/seeing 4 rovers, 3 35's and a single 75.

Did rover sell cars all over the world or was it just in mainland europe?

The Rover Company was always quite small public limited company owned by institions like insurance companies until it got absorbed into the Leyland Group in 1967 and then into BLMC with BMC/Jaguar. By the mid 1950's its car operation was hardly significant and really just a profitable sideline

It did export all over the world mainly for the benefit of Land Rovers though via distributors such as Rootes Group and the like and even had an overseas subsidiary in US
