The wraps came off Rover's first compact-executive estate car at the Geneva Motor Show, writes David Duffy.

The Rover 75 Tourer will lead a series of new product unveilings from the company's Rover and MG brands.

The new Rover 75 Tourer will lead the show reveals including three new MG saloons presently code-named X10, X20 and X30.

The Rover 75 Tourer is the first production Rover estate car in the compact-executive sector and will be entering production in May.

The first customer orders are expected to be delivered from mid-year in the United Kingdom and from September into European markets.
