MG Rover has renewed a 10-year-old agreement to supply cars to furnishing and electric retail giant Courts.

The company has a fleet of more than 500 Rovers, made up of Rover 25s, 45s and 75s, for retail support services staff, store managers and auditors. Each vehicle covers more than 22,000 miles a year.

Peter Cohen, associate director, said: 'Courts assessed its requirements, analysed its existing choice of supplier and potential suppliers, their products, wholelife costs and added value propositions. MG Rover offered the best wholelife proposition. MG Rover's recent results seem to vindicate our faith in the firm.'

Local MG Rover dealer Camden Motors supplied the first batch of vehicles.
