This comprehensive pictorial overview of Rover cars and car-derived vans covers the 60 years from 1945 to 2005. It describes and illustrates all of the great classic Rovers up to and including the SD1, and goes on to look at the models inherited from British Leyland that attracted Rover badges.
It finishes with the models designed in conjunction with Honda; the later British-designed cars – and even the final City Rover. There is also consideration of some Rover models that were designed but, for various reasons, did not enter production, and can now only be seen as prototypes in museums.
A title in Veloce’s popular Pictorial History series, this book describes all of the postwar models with illustrations and technical data for each.

He has written very widely for both magazines and books on motoring subjects, but has specialised in the history of Rover cars and Land Rovers; he continues to write for the motoring press both at home and abroad. He has several automotive books published by Veloce, including: Rover V8 – The Story of the Engine; Land Rovers in British Military Service; Land Rover Emergency Vehicles; Rover Cars – A Pictorial History; and some Essential Buyer’s Guides for the Range Rover and Land Rover Discovery.
