I grew up with Rovers so I enjoyed reading this Entry, and it was nearly ready for Peer Review so I polished it up and here it is

Excellent entry! I'm glad to see this released into Peer Review.
I've just got a couple of points for now. Firstly, I didn't seem to see any mention of the lovely Viking ship logo. Surely that's worth mentioning. When did it first grace Rover cars?
Also, there was a lot of talk at the time that Rover's collapse was coincided with the introduction of a new law. Is there any truth in that and what is the details?
I'm glad to see this in Peer Review!

Thanks <BB<
Good point about the logo - I have added a paragraph in.
I'm not sure about a new law, but there were laws around whether government could have involvement with commercial businesses, so I added in some details about what the Government did to try to save Rover. I hope that is what you were asking about, but let me know if you have any more questions and I'll see what I can find out.

Quick question:
I've just had a read through and am unsure why the last section is called 'The Future' when there isn't one…? That section seems to have tied everything up so all is finished.
