	Phoenix lands Rover finance
		Phoenix, led by John Towers, the former Rover chief executive, was locked in discussions with its lawyers yesterday in preparation for a crucial meeting with BMW today.

		Professor Garel Rhys, a motor industry expert, said the challenge facing Phoenix was to put forward a coherent and plausible business and marketing plan which acknowledged that Rover would compete with Ford, Volkswagen and Peugeot.

		Jon Moulton and his venture capitalist partners at Alchemy were out of the picture and John Towers, the CEO of Rover at the time of the BMW acquisition in 1994, and his Phoenix consortium had secured the future of Rover and the majority of its workers by paying a nominal £10.
		Towers and his colleagues at Phoenix, a group of Midlands businessmen, got a viable business plan up and began serious negotiations with BMW only in early May. By May 10, they had finalized the deal.
		More importantly for cash-strapped Phoenix, the new route for Rover, perhaps without the British stereotype and aristocratic ambition, the sports-luxury edge can be achieved cheaply without a great revamp of its dealer branding.

		For the symbolic sum of $10, BMW of Germany sold its money-losing Rover subsidiary today to a British consortium that wants to maintain the troubled British automaker as a mass producer of cars and guarantor of thousands of British jobs.
		The purchase price, equivalent to little more than $15, was offset by a heftier promise of a $767 million loan from BMW to enable the buyer, the Phoenix Consortium, to take over the company - currently losing $3 million a day.
		But analysts said the consortium faced an enormous challenge if it is to succeed where BMW failed after a six-year, multibillion-dollar investment.
