Fantastic better than the YANK TANKS that are popular in the UK for prom nights hen nights etc.

Wouldn't fancy taking it to a multi story car park though.

Is the 75 popular in South Africa Kaiser?

Problem is the 75 would become just another CHAV mobile.

Well, you don't even have to drive at all, just enter the car at the one end and exit at the other, and voila!, you are there!!

And as for the reputation of Rovers down here, a lot of people like them, but most are indifferent or afraid to own them.The last of the Rovers we had here, prior to the 75, were the SD1, which were locally built and discontinued in 1983.
They were good cars in many ways, but obviously they suffered from a lack of support, and that dented the name somewhat.

Reminds me of that 'thing' that kept appearing on flea bay a couple of years ago!

For those that don't know, it was a WIP stretch limo, a rusting pile of metal.
