The Rover R30 was Rover's last hope and was the car along with its siblings that killed Rover Group for good. It is also alleged that BMW "stole" this project in the end to create the BMW 1 Series. In this video we explore its development and its place in the proposed lineup of the Rover 75 or R40, the Rover 35, Rover 55 and the Mini or R50 as a replacement for the Rover 800, Rover 400, Rover 200.

We also discuss whether or not this did kill MG and Rover's future as a volume car manufacturer and whether it really was yet another missed opportunity for the British car industry.
