I like the red one, its nice!!

Cars like the Metro, Maestro and Montego then wore Rover badges instead, but the Mini didn't, or at least those sold in the UK didn't. I believe at least a few Japanese export models had Rover badges on their boot lids?

Yes, they had the "Rover" badges in the boot lids and the Rover Viking ship shield badges on the bonnet too, as they're sold as the Rover Mini from I think around 86 onwards. All Japanese Minis wore the Rover badges except the 90s Coopers and the 96on MPi model which had the wing badges, but still with the text "Rover" badges on the boot lid...

just so everyone knows my steering wheel doesn not say austin rover it says austin austin ausitin

So your telling me my Austin Morris Super that was built in 1979 is actually a British Leyland etc etc....

An people wonder why Britains car makers all died a slow painful death.

edit: very interesting link Anorak, I knew it was'nt what it said on the V5 did't realise how confusing it had got tho.

maybe its not the standard steering wheel.

If your not prepared to listen to peoples opinions then don't bother starting topics.
