The new Rover R8 200 was launched with the 400 following the following year. The new car was fitted with Rovers new K series engine in 1400 guise whilst the 1600 cars had a Honda engine. The cabriolet, tourer and coupe models also followed and the R8 range was considered to be the best model to be built by the company.

'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle
