Because Rover's trademark is precious, it is said that Ford intends to sell this trademark to India's Tata Group (the one that bought Jaguar and Land Rover), and then Nanqi was acquired by SAIC. It became the brand of SAIC.
In fact, this is not a successful acquisition, because Rover and MG's old engine technology and indifferent production line and output will not have much sales, and the important brand Rover has not been acquired (how important is Rover? He used to be the queen's car. Land Rover used to be his brand)
Rover): The mascot comes from the pun of Viking, the most famous wanderer in the world. The word Rover, in English, contains the meaning of rover and navigator. Starting from 1902, this sign is placed in the front center of the car. In the 1920s, Vikings wearing helmets and triangular badges attracted a generation of young people who loved Land Rover cars.
Later, the Viking standing in the sign of the rover gradually gave way to his head, but he still wore a helmet. Technically, logically, it is a statue of the bow of a Viking ship. The bow and sail of Viking ship first appeared on the signboard of 1929 radiator. As a symbol of good luck, it runs through the century-old history of Rover.
On July 22nd, 2005, China Nanqi acquired Rover for 50 million pounds. In 2008, India's Tata Motors acquired the ownership of the Rover brand from Ford Motor Company.
