A BRITISH CAR DISASTER!? ROVER'S AMERICAN HORROR STORY - The Sterling

In this video we explore one of Rover’s worst blunders abroad the Rover 800 for North America, the Sterling and how it failed through self sabotage, disastrous build quality and industry turmoil eventually leading to the collapse of Sterling in the USA, the third and final failure for Rover in the US.

From the Rover P6 and its NADA variant to the Rover SD1 Federalised, we also explore the world of the Rover in North America and how the Sterling almost got a Coupe but was sadly beaten by the Acura Legend.

A deal originally struck between British Leyland and Honda in 1981 would become the Rover for North America.


We explore how each of these incredible projects ended and what happened to these mysterious lost cars
