My dealer launch car casts doubt over that theory. It was built on 24th May 1999 and acquired by its first owner on 20th October. Simon

Correct Steve if a dealer registered a launch car as a demo they were supposed to keep it for 6 months before selling it on

Oh I know that it’s not a dealer car as we have paperwork to show it was owned by rover for 6 months

The dealer concerned broke the agreement by selling it early and if they had been found out Rover would have had possibly sanctioned the dealer. Depending on the size of the dealership there were 2 or 3 cars at the launch events, larger dealers did have a 2.0 V6 as well as the 2.5 and 1.8 models Russ

Rover were absolutely insistant that the dealer launch cars were not allowed to be sold until they were six months old, I remember the conversation well. Big penalties for any dealer caught doing so we were told. But, this is the motor trade we are talking about. Steve. Last edited by ssizefive; 15th July 2021 at 20:29.. |
