Rover

Rover's history spans bicycles and early cars, refined postwar saloons, pioneering SUVs through its Land Rover connection, and the complicated British Leyland and Rover Group eras. The register includes P4, P5 and P6 models, SD1, Metro related cars and the 200, 400, 600, 800 and 75 families. Production ended in 2005, so the surviving stock now provides a finite record of a major British marque that once covered much of the mainstream market.
