Email address, registration number and Metro 6R4 drawings all going under the hammer next weekend
Even nearly 20 years later, it’s hard to avoid the ‘what ifs’ around the demise of Rover. What if this had happened before, what if so and so had done that, what if it was sold elsewhere and so on. While the MG side of the business is now flourishing under Chinese ownership,- and the Rover marque owned by JLR - the Austin Rover Ltd name has lain dormant. Apparently, PWC sold it after MG Rover’s demise as part of the administration process, and it stayed with that long-term owner.
There’s only one image currently of the 6R4 drawings, but again there are enough fans of the mighty Metro out there for it to be interesting. Especially with MST’s recently announced plans. There are said to be a ‘vast amount’ of the drawings, moreover, if the home office requires a spruce up. Quite what they’ll sell for is almost impossible to gauge, because it’s hard to see the collectability value for casual classic car fans.
Nigel Gough, Iconic’s Automobilia Specialist, said: “This is a unique opportunity for someone to own a piece of British motoring history and possibly do something exciting with the brand. We recommend that any interested buyer comes to view Lot 254A in person to fully understand what is included.” If the winning bidder isn’t a PHer, we’ll eat our branded fleece.
