Reprinted after a long absence, this Veloce Classic is the
definitive history of the dignified Rover P4 from 1949 until 1964,
which includes Marauder and jet-powered, experimental cars.
Nowadays affectionately known as the 'Aunty' Rover, the dignified
P4 series of cars was launched in 1949 to carry Britain's Rover
company into the postwar era. Rover's well-deserved reputation for
building high-quality cars, and the marque's upmarket image,
ensured that the P4 series appealed to the company's traditional
clientele - doctors, solicitors, bank managers and others of
similar social rank. Despite the rather staid image of the P4
series, over the years the cars had many interesting features, like
the original 'Cyclops' central headlight, disc brakes, a freewheel
device and overdrive. The larger-engined versions were also rather
nifty and could whoosh their occupants along at a very
unauntie-like pace! Production continued through several model
variations - but always with four or six-cylinder engines - until
1964. In the meantime, Rover experimented with gas turbine power
units in P4 bodies, and created the famous JET 1. The Marauder
sports car was also P4-based. An amazing number of the sturdy P4s
have survived to the present day and most are now enjoyed and
cherished by enthusiasts.
