    For the record, that dirty, beat up shell of a car is still better looking than the F56...

    I'm not sure that really helps much, with how much Rover contributed. The windows? Ok, wow, homerun there, where would we be without Rover etched windows?

    Seriously though, the design was chosen and hashed out well before this prototype was built--it's VERY cool that this turned up, I hope someone rebuilds it, but I'm not sure it really proves Rover had a major contribution to the design, that sounds more like spin than truth. Contributing parts is not the same as contributing design.
