Replica Five-Millionth Rover, To Go On Sale
Published: 17th July 2003
A replica version of the car built to celebrate the five-millionth
Rover is to go on sale. The five-millionth, a Rover 75 2.5 Litre V6
Saloon, is painted in a new special Xirallic® Aubergine paint
finish. It is upholstered with Oyster leather, and aubergine Trim
with a Connoisseur SE specification, that includes Hi-Line satellite
navigation and many additional top-of-the-range items that combine
to make this a special Rover car. The Xirallic® paint finish is
one of the newest developments in paint technology. It has chroma
crystal effect pigments. These produce a very high lustre, a strong
glitter effect and have distinct shimmer.
The replica five-millionth Rover 75 Saloon will go on sale priced at £29,995, with a Sony DVD option at £2,499. It represents a potential saving of £2,000 over a similarly specified Rover 75 car.
MG Rover built the five-millionth Rover car on Thursday, July 10,
2003. The off line ceremony was attended by the Prince Edward, Earl
of Wessex. He congratulated MG Rover staff on this motoring milestone.
The original five-millionth Rover car will be retained by the company,
in preparation for Rover’s centenary celebrations in 2004.
