500 Rover 75's
Took my son to his friends birthday party, then got talking to another parent and we got round to discussing cars and I mentioned my R75.
He used to work at Leyland Trucks in Leyland (just a mile up the road from me) and he remembers he and his workmates were offered a Rover 75 when they were first launched,at factory discount price... didn't tell me how much though. He remembers majority of his work mates took up the offer, and he said he used to look out into the car park and there was about 500 brand new Rover 75's and that the remote key fob would always set off more than one car........Then he told me it was Rovers way of boosting sale figures by offering discount cars to the workforce.....told to him by a manager friend...
