It's an MG not a Rover 75?

OddSox · 27th December 2016, 18:54

Seasons greetings fellas..

Can any one here tell me what's the difference between the |MG| or |Rover 75|?

I mean..They were built in the same factory..(Right?)...! Apart from engine options and suspension... it's the same car but with MG badges?

Both cars made in the SAME factory...With the same body panels..Floor plan etc...!

What (SIGNIFICANT) differences are between an MG or the Rover?..

You being serious? Have you looked at the two side by side? Driven both?

Not sure whether this is a serious question or not....

Or yet another attempt to get arguments going ...

The man has asked a perfectly serious question, if you know then answer him without the sarcasm.

Power and suspension set ups, the interior was more sporty as well.
same idea as the maestro's and montego's of the 80's where.

MG stands for Morris Garages, these where sold as "tuned up" Morris' of the 1930's.

in the 60's and 70's they had their own vehicles the MG A and MG B and MG C, some will say it went downhill pretty fast after the mid 70's, others will disagree.

personally, I like the idea of standard vehicles (24/45/75 etc) having sporty "sisters" in the (ZR/ZS/ZT) and was the true meaning of MG.
everything compared to today's un-sporty vehicle line up.

Essentially the same car, with alternative options to choose from.

Vitesse treatment in old speak.
