In October 1963, Rover announced their compact 2000 model which was often known colloquially by its codename P6. It was an all-new design featuring a unit-construction base skeleton covered by bolt-on body panels, independent front suspension using horizontal coil springs, de Dion rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, giving it class-leading dynamics.
Its radical exterior and interior styling was by David Bache and its pioneering passenger safety-cell contributed to it becoming the first ever 'European Car of The Year' in 1964. Rover's General-Motors derived all-aluminium V8 was offered as a more powerful option in April 1968, finally giving the P6 the power its chassis had always warranted. Production of the P6 ceased in 1977.
Engine: 3528cc V8 OHV; Power: 150bhp@5000rpm; Torque: 204lb.ft@2700rpm; Maximum speed: 122mph; 0-60mph: 9.1 secs; Produced: 292,947 (all P6). This special 60th Anniversary Collection model includesa commemorative pin badge.
