ROVER 90 SALOON |
The Rover 90 or P4 was part of the brand launch range of seven models. To get this small range together the Corgi team outsourced the model-making to Germany. Cleemput says in his book 'The Rover 90 was the only model that we were disappointed with and which we felt had not been faithfully represented.' Too right. This is actually a bad model. Compare it to a photograph of the real car - the toy seems too tall & skinny, they just didn't get the proportions right.
Probably for this reason far fewer of these were sold than any of the other cars in the launch range, making them rarer now and consequently more expensive and harder to get hold of. Ironic really.
