Two Chinese car firms will soon go head-to-head selling their own versions of what used to be the Rover 75.

Nanjing Automotive and Shanghai Automotive are selling a car once made in Birmingham. Peter Plisner reports from China.

Nice post mate. At least they seem to have taste AND look on Britishness as good!

The grotty CG effects of model car going past cardboard stately home really don't suit it at all.

Was the uk lwb model also 100mm longer?

The old 'limo' was 200mm longer than the standard car.
So this falls between the two.
However I feel reassured by the BBC review (well done that man who posted for us).
It really does look better and better every time I see it.

I quite like the idea of a 75 with another 4" in the rear - always a slight failing IMHO.
