Rover 45 Estate Anyone????

I recently found images of a super rare estate conversion of the Rover 45. These pictures show a unofficial converstion and is essentially a Honda Civic Aerodeck with a reworked front end and Rover 45 interior trim ,but it looks quite good and well-executed. MG Rover could offically produce this car as the Rover 45 Tourer and the MG ZS-T, it will give their model range even more diversity and broaden the appeal of the ageing 45 design. The idea of a 45/400-series estate was previously dissmissed as to a lack of demand for a small-estate, although a estate version of the mk2 400-Series was produced. Now small stylish estates are trendy and smart(like the Lexus IS SportCross & Renault Laguna SportTourer) and would fit well with the 75 Tourer and ZT-T estate ranges.

This rear view shows how well-executed the converstion was.
