Rover P6 - 2000, 2200, 3500 - The Complete Story

The Rover P6 was unquestionably one of the best saloon cars to come out of Britain in the 1960s and was winner of the first-ever European Car of the Year award. It combined a wealth of technical innovation with a distinctive appearance that incorporated exactly the right degree of Italianate sharp-suited appearance for its time. It was, and remains, a great car to drive, and all these qualities were combined with the space and practicality of a four-seat family saloon.

This book documents its evolution from the earliest ideas in the 1950s to the end of production in 1977. It describes all the models with specification tables and paint and trim options, including NADA and Federal cars and remembers the motorsport successes and failures.
It records the manufacturing process at Solihull and CKD overseas and includes a useful chapter on buying and owning a Rover P6.

Rover SD1 - The Full Story 1976-1986 (paperback)

David Bache's superbly styled hatchback gave Rover a highly distinctive large executive-class car in the 1970s and 1980s, and a successful motorsport programme in the first half of the 1980s only added to its desirability.
The original carburetted V8 and 6-cylinder petrol models were supplemented by injected V8s and by 4-cylinder petrol and diesel types to widen the range's appeal - and yet sales would always be disappointing, thanks in no small measure to variable and sometimes simply awful build quality.

Nevertheless, the SD1 remains a favourite with enthusiasts today, and stands out at classic car gatherings just as it always stood out on the road when it was new.
Now in paperback for 2021, this is the complete story of the Rover SD1, including full production histories and comprehensive specification details.

Rover SD1 - The Full Story 1976-1986 (hard cover)

Rover's big hatchback saloon of the 1970s and 1980s had all the elements of a superb motor car. It was the work of long-standing Rover engineers, with substantial input from their colleagues at Triumph.

The SD1's top models even shared their V8 engines with earlier and much-loved classics from Rover. It was stunningly attractive, cleverly derived from Italian supercar styling and still extraordinarily practical thanks to its large hatchback configuration.

In this book, Rover historian James Taylor tells the full story of the SD1, warts and all, from initial concept to final production model.
With over 250 photographs, the book covers:
- The SD1 background and development
- The oft-criticized early models, and the more successful later variants
- The exclusive Vitesse and Vanden Plas models
- Overseas and police variants
- The SD1 in motor sport
- Buying and owning an SD1 today.
