Depends on how the car is wired.

If the original alternator had an internal regulator then the Rover one should just plug in. (later Clubmans)

But if the car is wired with an separate alternator then you will need some re-wiring. (Mini K's and early Clubmans)

Unfortunately by the look of the bunch of wires in your hand you have the second type and will need some wiring work.

Hmmmm............ The Doc replied to this last night - now the post is missing like a few others
