Rover 2000 (P6) and 3500 V8 (P6B)
Go to Rover Cars Creating a new executive car market, the Rover 2000 grew into the V8 motorway cruiser.

Rover 2000. P6 grille badge from 1966
Rover 3500 Series II. The grille of the Rover 2000 and 3500 was revised in 1970 to the form shown here.
Rover 2000. The P6 was given a Heron-head inline four-cylinder overhead cam engine of 1978cc
Rover 2000. After 1970 the rear lights were changed.
Rover 2000. The Rover P6 was a clean sheet design introduced in 1963. David Bache designed it with a unibody design made up of unstressed panels fixed to a frame. There was a new 1978cc overhead cam engine.
Rover 2000. When introduced in 1963 the Rover P6 was available as the Rover 2000.
Rover 2000 TC. In 1966 Rover produced the optional 2000 TC version of the P6, giving it a second carburretor and revised top end to raise the power from 104bhp to 124bhp.
Rover 2000 TC. The TC version of the Rover P6 was now capable of 100mph.
Rover 3500 Series II Estate. Although the Estate was a conversion on a completed car, this conversion had factory blessing and could be bought through main dealers HR Owen.
Rover 3500 Series II. The P6 was given the 3528cc V8 engine in 1968 to become the P6B (B for 'Buick'). The Series II was facelifted with different bonnet and grille.
Rover 3500 Series II Estate. Estate conversions were made after cars were sold, usually on V8 cars. F.L.M. Panelcraft did the work, and the bodies were finished by Crayford, HR Owen or Hurst Park.
Rover 3500 Series II. Series II P6 and P6B cars also got changed rear lights. The external spare wheel was a common accessory because the rear suspension took boot space.
Rover 3500S Police Car. The Rover P6B was a common choice for Police forces, especially for motorway patrols.
Rover 3500 Series II Estate. F.L.M. Panelcraft designed and made the conversion on the P6, often after the customer had used the car for a year, thereby avoiding tax on the conversion.
Rover 3500 Series II. The P6B (and P6) were introduced in 1970, both 2000 and 3500 getting the bonnet 'blips'
Rover 110 (P4). The unmistakable profile of the Rover P4 with 'suicide' (rear-hinged) rear doors.
Rover 3-litre (P5) MkI. Unitary construction was used for the P5. David Bache designed the P5 but is thought to have been inspired by some 1953/54 concepts by Pininfarina on a P4 base. The Chrysler 300 launched in 2004 is said to have taken its cues from the P5.
Rover 3½-litre (P5B). David Bache's classic lines for this 4-door coupe are clear in this view, and in 2005 Mercedes-Benz created their own 4-door coupe the CLS which seems to have borrowed from the P5 Coupe.
