'A CAR ON THE HOUSE' WITH WEST BROMWICH
BUILDING SOCIETY AND MG ROVER GROUP'

The latest mortgage offer from the West Bromwich Building Society and
MG Rover beats the lot - a 'Rover 25' when you take out a 'Brum Brum'
mortgage with the Society. The offer is open to first time buyers and
borrowers who re-mortgage to the West Brom - which is great news for anyone
who wants a shiny new Rover 25 with their mortgage.

On top of a new car, the 'Brum Brum Mortgage' also comes with:
* Free loan protection insurance for 6 months
* No higher lending charge up to 90% LTV
* Refund of valuation (max. £350)
* Standard variable rate paid (currently 5.99%)

The new Rover car
* Model – new Rover 25 (3 door 1.1i) hatchback
* Technically advanced and lightweight K Series engine
* 3 years extended warranty (or 60,000 miles -which ever comes first)
* The 25 is Rover’s 25 best-selling model

This limited offer is available for mortgages taken out directly with the
Society throughout the branch network, telephone or internet. Once a
mortgage is completed, the customer is contacted by MG Rover Group to
arrange colour, specification and delivery.



The only cost to the customer is insurance, road fund licence, a first
registration fee, with the option to upgrade to a higher specification
Rover car if required. A redemption charge will apply to compensate the
Society for early repayment of the mortgage.

Stephen Karle Group Services Director and Group Secretary, West Bromwich
Building Society, said; "Through the combined forces of the West Brom
Building Society and MG Rover Group, we are able to provide West Midlands
homebuyers with the deal of a lifetime.

"For first time buyers it means they can now own both a new home and new
car - something prior to this offer, many could only dream about. It's
also a great boost for MG Rover Group, the Midlands top car manufacturer
supporting local industry and jobs."

Paul Stroud, UK Commercial Director, MG Rover Group, said: "This offer
represents a unique value proposition for individuals, or couples, wanting
a new house with ALL the trimmings – a new Rover car! The concept to
incorporate a new Rover car within a mortgage, is a class-leading product
incentive and an industry first, that will be wholly supported by MG Rover
Group.â€Â
