Rover RD 60 Info
I have a really great polish friend whose english is excellent (so is her french and polish)
However she has managed to a reasonable translation of the Polish article on the RD 60. It doesn't actually tell us too much that we don't already know.
TRANSLATION
The hidden – until now - model of Rover 60 will be produced in Zeran as well as Longbridge (polish factory close to Warsaw), if the contract with Rover is eventually signed.
The Brits plan to transfer to Warsaw the complete manufacturing line of model 45, which will be produced only there. The next step is to introduce on the same line one of prepared Rover’s version. During the interview carried out by the newspaper, Rover didn’t exclude that it will be a kombi model. Rover 60 will be introduced to the production in main plants of concern in Longbridge next year.
The car will replace the elderly “45”. Similarly to the current model, the expected one has a front wheel drive. An engine is situated crosswise in the front. These are current, very modern and successful units of type K, however with slightly increased power. For the Rover 60, there have been prepared a new ‘floor board’, on which 4 and 5 doors versions will be created – kombi and minivan.
The newest Rover has maintained the style of conceptive TCV model, shown in 2001 in Geneva. Over, as well as other producers, has chosen for his future models angular body shapes. Peter Stevens, responsible for the cars concerned says the stylisation put a big stress on a functionality inside its vehicles.
There has been prepared 5-seats, 4-door body as well. The car in its style reminds a kombi-limousine. A massive back makes a trunk of a big capacity.
There exists the “60” ’s sport version, called MG. The lashing-down is more powerful and lower-situated, stronger springs and amortizations have been applied. The car has 17-inch wheels, and shield breakers multi-terminals on each of its axes.
hope this is of interest, and my regards to Magdelena who translated this for us
