Hundred of Rover workers were treated to a free night out in Coventry to celebrate

Hundred of Rover workers were treated to a free night out in Coventry to celebrate the launch of the brand new model today. Their families went too, as bosses said a big " thankyou" to staff who have laboured long and hard on the new car. A theatre at the citys Odeon cinema was booked for two screening of a top new comedy film Look whos Talking, last night. And the guests also got to see what all the fuss is about. They watched the big-screen version of a new multi-million pound TV ad for the new Metro car. The queue of Rover workers waiting ouside the Odeon wound round a hundred yards into Whitefriars Street last night as shown in our photograph.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Hundreds of Rover workers and their families were treated to a night of celebration in Coventry as the brand new model was launched. In a heartfelt gesture, bosses organized a free night out at the city's Odeon cinema, expressing their gratitude for the tireless efforts put into creating the new car. The highlight of the evening was two special screenings of the popular comedy film 'Look Who's Talking', providing much-needed laughter and entertainment for all attendees. But that wasn't all; guests were also given an exclusive preview of the highly anticipated multi-million pound TV ad for the new Metro car on the big screen. Excitement filled Whitefriars Street as our photograph captures a queue stretching over a hundred yards outside the Odeon, showcasing just how eager everyone was to witness this momentous occasion. This snapshot from May 1st, 1990, encapsulates not only an important milestone in Rover's history but also highlights Coventry's vibrant architecture and bustling atmosphere during this era. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of an unforgettable evening where hard work and dedication were rewarded with joyous celebrations and shared moments with loved ones.
