Any additional info on the source or origin of that "OVER" logo at the bottom of the article? Otherwise, it makes it seem like a biased article. --Logariasmo 03:22, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Here is the logo, in case we want to keep it for posterity. I have removed it from the article. If someone wants to re-insert the logo, please give a good reason for doing so, such as maybe: "This modified company logo appeared in ... after ..."

the 'over' badge was posted on www.b3ta.com, a graphics-editing site [British] after the first news. No link, but that's what it is - a joke, and not a serious badge.
Can somebody date the last use of the licenced 215 at Rover? (I believe it was replaced by a BMW around 1990.) Am I right it was bought from GM 1962? And is it still in use at Morgan? Trekphiler 07:31, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Formerly listed on the London Stock Exchange?
Was "Rover" actally ever listed? I take it that if it was it was previous to the firm becoming part of British Leyland? Otherwise it would be a group listing and so shouldnt be on this page. Ian3055 15:45, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] clarification needed
quote:(Similarly, in Australia, the Honda Quint and Integra were badged as the Rover Quintet and 416i.) what is a honda quint? Im from Australia and never heard of it, I was pretty sure the honda named accord and the rover quintet were the same but need to check this out. (to confirm the honda quint never exsisted in australia its not listed at http://www.redbook.com.au either)
[edit] Freewheel
Worth mentioning? Prewar models had a freewheel device operated by a knob on the dash board. 81.156.82.34 10:35, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gas Turbines
Rover continued to develop the gas turbine for automotives purposes until the seventies. One of its uses was in the ground starting trolley for Avro Vulcan MkII air craft. Another was to power the APT-E 81.156.82.34 10:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rover logo.jpg
Image:Rover logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] rover
there is nothing wrong with this document. it is great.
[edit] Timeline
I think that the timeline at the bottom of the page should be modified somewhat. The Rover 400 & 45 should be moved to "Mid-size car" and the 75 should be moved in-between "Large Family" and "Executive car" or at least down to "Exectutive car".
Can this even be done? Dominar_Rygel_XVI (talk) 10:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
