Even in the BMC days the management would have bee ashamed at that level of badge engineering.

Here are the badge parts of the badge engineering-







Here is the interior- the word 'Rover' appears on the steering wheel and 'Quintet' in front of the gear lever.



And perhaps I should have worded my first post more clearly- Honda did not sell the 5 door hatchback car in Australia under their own badges. That body design of a Honda (for Oz) was exclusively a Rover.

Like the mk2 400 then - pure Civic with almost no Rover input other than the badges and interior.

Oh, and that WONDERFUL 4 cyl K series!

Rhondas? I used to call them 'Hoovers'
