Rover 75 facts for kids
The Rover 75 was a special car made by a company called Rover. They built these cars from 1999 to 2005. The Rover 75 took the place of two older models, the Rover 600 and the Rover 800.
This car shared many parts with the BMW 3 Series, which is another well-known car. The Rover 75 was available with different types of petrol engines and turbodiesel engines.
