Article Abstract:

The Rover 75 and the Jaguar S-type are set to attract particular attention from visitors to the 1998 British International Motor Show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England. The Rover 75, which replaces the 600 and 800, has a large Rover front grille and a lot of chrome edging and accenting. The new S-type has the same ovoid front grille and round headlamps as its predecessors. Engines are the existing 4.0-litre V8 and a powerful new 3.0-litre V6.
