History of Rover and SAIC started in 2005 when companies SAIC and Nanjing Automobile bought the technology of Brit producer. The Nanjing was found in better situation because apart from buying technology (for 53 mld pounds) bought also rights to the fallen brands MG, Austin and leased works in Longbridge. Because of the fact that both of these companies didn’t received the rights to the Rover brand (still belonging to BMW)they had to sell cars using different name. Nanjing took advantage of rights to MG logo, in turn SAIC created a new brand name Roewe at the end of 2006, with logo is seemed to Rover. In half of 2007 both of companies joined. SAIC took control on both brands, beneath which are twins models Roewe 750 and MG7.
