It's fascinating how differently 75's in different countries are considered.
In Australia Rovers have a very different place in automotive history.
Not a chance in a million would one end up as a taxi. We have Holdens and locally designed Fords for that.
When Rovers were rebadged Hondas we had government policies designed to aid our local manufacturers and had Holden designed and built cars rebadged as Toyotas. Nope. We didnt fall for it. Long story... But...point is, rebadging was seen as a sort of sin. Rovers were seen as Hondas and then the brand disappeared altogether.
Rover as genuine Rovers reappeared with the 75 briefly then disappeared again.
Now the 75 is seen as a very rare luxury vehicle that's most likely way too expensive to maintain. Just about right too
