The 80s Rover 200 (Hyacinth Bucket's car in Keeping Up Appearances) was a rebadged version of this. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OneFootInTheGrave -- Last edit: 2011-12-21 18:57:06

Link to "en.wikipedia.org" They weren’t built at Swindon, but they were brought there to be checked by Honda after being built at Longbridge by Rover. Ditto the Concerto subsequently. The first Honda built in Swindon was the 1995 Civic. -- Last edit: 2025-10-07 21:26:36
