I have a 2003 freelander I like it.

I have a freelander 2 3.2 petrol, wat a smooth ride ❤

Sweet❤

When cars were normal, before SUVs made them stupidly big, out-of-proportion and expensive.

Music overpowers the commentary Mr Editor ! Spoils it too!

Lynn you can keep saying it, but I'm not driving a Mini Metro

It does not have permanent 4WD, the VC requires some slippage between front and rear.

In Saraevo: to the Chicks!

I'm in this!! 😁😁

One of the problems none of this talk of trying to save cash by lowering engineering costs could fix were the ‘Portfolio’ models R3 (200) seen here at 9:21 & particularly HHR (400) at 9:58. These were already signed off & underway when BMW bought the company (so they could do nothing about them) & came with very expensive Honda licensing fees so Rover struggled to make a worthwhile profit to go towards developing replacements from them. The R3 was a good car but Fiesta/Corsa sized & priced at Escort/Astra money. The HHR was probably the car that finished Rover Group off. Nothing like as competitive as the previous R8 200/400 & cost Mondeo/Vectra money. It’s quite sad watching this really, knowing how it all ended.

I love my freelander 1 td4, hardly any rust and it's 23 years old and still going strong :)

I wonder if dealers ever got frustrated in trying to sell top spec metros, without the option of 5-speed.

Can I install front towbar on my freelander 1

Such a shame Corgi or Matchbox didn't do a diecast model/toy car of the 800 saloon or fastback. Unlike Norev which produced models of their domestic cars

I love this car,is my favourite and I can't wait to buy it when I will grown up because I am still on school

They've rebadged it, you fool!

Love how they showed a non metro engine bay at 6:19. McPherson struts on a metro? 😂

Land Rover started by Rover and finally just Land/Range Rover; MG was belonged to Rover until hiatus then the so-called SAIC obtained MG and worst closed MG Longbridge place down for good...

It certainly had its problems and what they managed to create in terms of a Market Niche was amazing on the budget but it certainly came with its problems. Freelander 2 on the other hand was probably the most reliable model they ever made both before and after. It’s one of the few things Ford got right with their involvement

Its Rare Spot Dont like 👎

Its Strange Spot😱😱😱

I don't know how they are subjected to tough resistance tests and when they leave the dealership they start to fail, I love the Freelander but I had one that had a cylinder head gasket failure

I love the silver free lander vehicle😍😘

I was lucky to attend the ¿1999? Birmingham Motor Show where Opel / Vauxhall Zafira (“It rusts like fish” was the legend with this MPV sunk in a fish tank) Jaguar S Type, and also Rover 75 were unveiled. You know what? The Rover model presented a much more attractive interior than the Jag’s… being similar eye catchers at their external lines. Surprisingly, in 2020, in a non planned action, I saw a V6 75 unit with low mileage for sale and bought it on line, just after asking the seller to send me a video of the state of interiors and a cold engine start. Several days later a lorry brought the car home and after 3 years I have added 5.000 kms on the clock. I drive the car every two weeks at least for one hour to keep it fit. This car draws a smile on my face every time I drive it. And I agree: it is heavy and its steering system could be clearly better… but I love it.

On of my jobs at Gaydon,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Owned a mk2 820 Si in BRG green, apart from the usual T-series HG oil leak it was the nicest car I've ever oened.

I used to frequent the Rover centre in Reading my home town.

BMW just wanted the MINI name and Land Rover 4x4 systems for X5

It was the tie up with Honda that brought all this about- BMW approach was all wrong and not viable. Should have continued the Honda link

Its like watchin paint dry LOL

Any on the 2005 LR3?

I love all the attention for their computer aided design. Including people typing while nothing happens on the computer. Just for the video. CAD was state of the art back then. It took more than a second to render a wireframe of graphics. Now even a phone can do it 1000x faster. My mom had a Rover 100. It was a nice car. Seemed very solid until I years later saw the result of a crash test with this car. Terrible safety rating. I'm glad we never had a crash with it. Later she exchanged it for a Rover 214. It was involved in a pileup collision with a Ford Ka. The Ka was a write-off. The Rover 214 hardly had a scratch.

Привет из России у меня Ровер 75 универсал.😊

Yes yes, get some shots of the car going through the seawater! Won't that destroy the underneath of the car?! Nahhh it'll be fine!!

We have cars daily like bmw m340i and BMW X3…..but I love my Freelander 1 !!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤

2:03

Well, I’m glad I never saw that advert because I probably wouldn’t have owned the three that I ended up having

The pinnacle of BMC/BL/ARG/RG/MGR history. BMW bought the group right at its peak and it went down hill from there, although not all BMW's fault.

Not Rover 800 seen in this video but great M'O models

All that testing and they still rattled! 🤣

Excellent video, thank you so much for putting this up. Love the music. Love the M16 cylinder head on a desk, love the clay modelling, love seeing Gordon Sked and Geoff Upex in their younger days, love the voice of the late and great Roy Axe.

Gotta love the cheesy 80`s music. The special editions of the metro shown are the true meaning of the phrase "You can`t polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter"

I love the 800, particularly the R17, but (and I don't know if it's the incidental Muzak) but this reminds me of the promotional video for the MD11. Maybe it's just the era.

All they did was refresh the body and interior and plonk it on the elderly 1970's Metro platform achieving economical gymnastics to keep the price low, and when it became the 100, it's shortcomings and failings became apparrent in a dreadful 1* EURONCAP crash test result, and not even a driver's airbag could make up for that.
