I don't know what saddens me more, the loss of Rover or the loss of Top Gear?

Two of the biggest Rover cynics in the industry, seemingly praising them. Oh how times have changed.

@pim1234 The 'news' segment of Top Gear is a joke (and not in the way they want it to be). When was the last time they broadcast from a motorshow?

The last few series have been vast improvements on the crap they were churning out 4 or 5 years ago but it still isn't 'proper' Top Gear.

The loss of Top Gear ??? I watch it every week ...

Never did like the Rover 200 'bubble',the older wedge shape car was much more elegant looking,and bigger too.

Thanks for the upload. LOL, I was working on this MG Rover stand in 1995! The other car that attracted most interest on the stand was a classic Mini Cooper in Tahiti blue with leather interior.

Interestingly, I saw Top Gear do a live "stage show" at this Motor Show with banter between JC, QW and TN, with some audience participation. Obviously this concept went on to become the format of the TV programme a few years later. Anyone else see it at the Motor Show?
