The end of the Rover T16 ended the Plus 4 in 2000, but my theory is also that the factory were concentrating on sorting the Aero 8 and so the Plus 4 was left on the shelf for a while.


That would be correct to the best of my knowledge, Dave. One of the reasons cash flow was so tight that they ran the sell & buy back lease on the premises it appears.. But it's back now, so all is well.
