Of course you can. This is nothing new. In 1963 a bunch of people were

Typical Americans, late again, Rover had a jet engined car in 1950.....


That mothers were using to drive their kids to school? The Chrysler
wasn't a prototype, it was a production car.


Niel ;-)


Since they only built about 50 of them and never sold any, I don't think
the term 'production' applies.

They were in the hands of ordinary citizens and driven daily for several
years and there are in fact still several of them in private hands. They
were as much "production cars" as some models of Ferrari.

So how may Rovers were in private hands, ever?
