John's Bullish About Buying British Rover

Rover 25
Even before MG Rover Group’s independence in 2000, Ray has supported the cause for producing British-built cars at Longbridge and many other related UK promotional supported initiatives by taking on the character of John Bull – the epitome of ‘Mr England’ in his red tunic jacket, white jodhpurs and brown boots.
On collecting his car, Ray commented: "I’m delighted to be taking delivery of a British-built Rover 25, as my character John Bull simply wouldn’t buy anything else! I’m truly proud and very pleased with the beautifully pristine Rover car made by the skilled men and women at Longbridge."
Terry Hunt, general manager MG Rover Direct, said: "Ray, as John Bull, represents the epitome of Britain so it’s appropriate he should continue to drive the Longbridge-produced British Rover 25, and we’re absolutely delighted to see he enjoys his new car.
