Default More Facts And Figures From Mg Rover

I did a lot more digging this week and contacted the the society of motor manufacturers for information on MG Rover commercial sections. the information was startling. I knew the Rover commerce was rare but these are the exact figures from registrations.

I wanted to know just what was the split between MG Express and Rover commerce and then the split between years and the new shape
and old shapes, here they are.

Total old shape Rover commerce >535
Total new shape Rover commerce> 31
Total old shape MG Express> 285
Total new shape MG Express> 49

The years breakdown

2003> Rover commerce> 407 vans 2003> MG Express> 215 vans
2004> Rover commerce> 126 vans 2004> MG Express> 70 vans(note old shape)*
2004> Rover commerce new shape>10 vans 2004 MG Express (new shape) 25
2005> Rover commerce> 16 vans 2005 MG Express>21 vans
2006> Rover commerce> 2 vans 2006 MG Express> 0 vans
2007> Rover commerce> 1 van 2007 MG Express> 0 vans
2008> Rover commerce> 1 van 2008 MG Express> 0 vans

As you can see total new shape for both Rover commerce and MG Express is 80 vans in the whole country. In fact the rarest of the lot are the new shape rover commerce vans.The MG express had more in the year of closure sold than the rover.

The spilt Rover commerce total built> 547
The MG Express vans>total built 309
=-894 vans in total of which 814 are the old shapes.

So my Rover commerce is one of only 30 new shape rover commerce vans ever built (big smile)


I actually know who owns the only ever registered 2008 08 rover commerce
here is a picture.






Those commerce vans and express vans are going to be one hell of a rare vehicle in years to come.I will see if i have some more shots.
