ROVER will be offering fleets an estate version of the 75 in the new year, the manufacturer has confirmed. Details of the car are not being released but BMW Group chairman Joachim Milberg at the Geneva Motor Show confirmed that a model would be produced.

It will be the first time since the 1970s that Rover has built an executive estate and will provide a vital platform for increasing sales. Several new variants of the 75 are on the drawing board, including an all-new model to fit between the Club and the Connoisseur. There are also plans for a limousine 75 which will be provided to coachbuilders so the lengthening process does not spoil the car's lines.
