David Wilkins<p>It should have been out on the road. Instead, it lives in a glass case in a museum - the British Motor Museum, to be precise. This is R30. More specifically, it’s a 1/4 scale model of an early iteration of the car that was meant to replace Rover’s 25 and 45. Apparently a production-ready prototype existed by 2000 but after BMW abandoned MG Rover, the R30 never saw the light of day. That may not quite be the end of the story, though. More tomorrow…</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/davidsdailycar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>davidsdailycar</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Rover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rover</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BMW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BMW</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdCarMastodon</span></a></p>

David Wilkins<p>By 1999, Rover had spent five years under BMW ownership, and the first major new product to result from the German parent’s investment arrived in the form of the Rover 75. The aging 200 and 400 were given 75-style facelifts and renamed the 25 and 45. But it was widely known that these models from Rover’s Honda era were to be replaced by a new BMW-funded model family, R30. More on that tomorrow.

David Wilkins<p>Yesterday, I posted a picture of the spectacular jet-powered Rover-BRM Le Mans racer from 1963. Today, we fast forward to the next Rover-BRM car, the Rover 200 BRM, introduced in 1998 to add a bit of zip to the R3 range with a top sporty model. Red quilted leather interior, BRM-typical orange nose detailing. I think the reason they didn’t make this an MG was to avoid diluting the impact of the then-new MGF.

David Wilkins<p>Yesterday, I mentioned that Rover’s management was constantly trying to find ways of making the post-1995 200 (R3) and 400 (HH-R) models fresh and relevant. I shall set out the first of those efforts tomorrow but first, to set the context, we need to look at this, the 1963 Rover-BRM Le Mans racer, which was powered by a gas turbine - basically a jet engine. BRM (British Racing Motors) was a successful F1 team.

David Wilkins<p>Yesterday, I mentioned how the 1995 Rover R3 200 series, having originally been conceived as a Metro successor, couldn’t really serve as a full replacement for the R8 models from which it was evolved. This was partially addressed by launching a second, rather staid, car - HH-R, badged as a Rover 400, and based on the Honda Domani. This was available as either a hatch or a saloon.

David Wilkins<p>The direct descendent of the Rover 200/400 R8 series in platform terms was this, the 1995 Rover R3 200 series. Under the skin, R3 was mostly R8, although it adopted the rear suspension from the Austin Maestro. The good news was that it was a pretty decent car. The bad news was that it wasn’t a full-range successor to the R8, having originally been conceived as a replacement for the smaller Metro.

David Wilkins<p>Rover’s highly successful 200/400 series R8 range was available in six different body variants, and these are the final two. Meet the Targa-style cabriolet (red car) and the ‘Tomcat’ coupé (blue and white cars), both captured at the 2024 NEC Classic Car Show. But that old BL/Rover talent for messing things up had by no means been extinguished - it was merely lying dormant, as I shall explain tomorrow.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/davidsdailycar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>davidsdailycar</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Rover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rover</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdCarMastodon</span></a></p>
David Wilkins<p>Today, another couple of examples of Rover’s highly successful R8 range. While yesterday’s hatchback versions were badged as the 200 series, the handsome four-door saloon (white car) and Tourer estate (grey car) were badged as 400s. The system of model naming was the same as BMW’s, so the ‘420’ badge on the estate signifies a 400-series car with a 2-litre engine - although this was before BMW took over Rover.

David Wilkins<p>In 1989, the successor to yesterday’s Rover 200 arrived, a car code-named R8. Unlike the first 200 and the Triumph Acclaim before it, R8 wasn’t an off-the-shelf Honda design but the result of a more genuinely collaborative development effort between Rover and Honda. It was the most successful BL/Rover product of the modern era. Seen here at the NEC Classic Car Show, 2024 in 3-door (red) and 5-door hatch 200 series versions. More R8 tomorrow.

David Wilkins<p>Yesterday, I explained how, in 1981, BL replaced the Triumph Dolomite with the Acclaim, a licence-built Honda Ballade. When Honda introduced the second-generation Ballade in 1984, it was logical that BL should adopt this car as the Acclaim’s successor as well. The big change was that the new car would be a Rover, the 200 series, not a Triumph. Photo taken: NEC Classic Car Show, 2023.
