	The P4
		This was to be the final development stage of the P4 range, as by early 1962 the new P6, which was to become the future Rover 2000, was entering it's final development phase.
		Unfortunately Rover were so involved with their new baby, the P6, that little attention was paid to this car apart from the traditional 'end of line' photograph.
		In fact Rover were so lax that it is fairly certain that the car that appeared in the 'end of line' photograph wasn't even the final P4 to be built.

	Rover (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rover (the MG Rover Group) was a manufacturer of automobiles in the United Kingdom, based at the famous Longbridge plant in Birmingham.
		The 1950's and 60's were fruitful years for the company, with the Land Rover becoming a runaway success, as well as the P5 and P6 saloons equipped with a 3.5L (215ci) aluminum V8, the design and tooling of which was purchased from Buick, and pioneering research into gas turbine fuelled vehicles.
		This was the beginning of the end for the traditional Rover, as the Solihull based company's heritage drowned beneath the infamous industrial relations and managerial problems that beset the British motor industry throughout the 1970s.

	Rover P6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rover P6 series (named 2000, 2200, and 3500 for their engine displacement) was a group of saloon automobiles produced from 1963 through 1976.
		Rover later developed a derivative of the engine by fitting twin SU carburettors and a re-designed top end and marketed the revised specification vehicles as the 2000TC.
		Rover saw Buick's compact 3.5 L (3528 cc/215 in³) V8 from the Buick Special as a way to differentiate the P6 from its chief rival, the Triumph 2000.

	Range Rover development story
		In fact, in 1956, the Road Rover was developed into a Series II iteration, and because of Rover's success with their new P4 model, it was decided to align it with the saloon models, as opposed to the Land Rover.
		The main difference between the new Road Rover and its older counterpart was the body style: out went the utilitarian look, and in came a smooth, sophisticated look that tied it in nicely with the upcoming P5 model.
		Of course, Land Rover cannot have been encouraged by the Monteverdi's pitiful sales (it was painfully expensive though), but the reaction to the five door concept added impetus to plans to introduce their own version.

	Rover P6 development story
		The existing range of cars that epitomised British style of the time, the P4 "Auntie Rover" (of 1950-1964) and the more recent P5 luxury saloons (1959-1973), were beginning to look slightly long in the tooth - and even though they were respected by many existing customers, that base of buyers was ageing rapidly.
		Rover's management team knew that in order to survive in the market, they would need to devise something significantly more interesting, as a new generation of post-war "baby-boomers" was emerging.
		The Rover SD1 was equally as advanced, and was just what people wanted, but because they left out the quality, its reputation was quickly tarnished.

	autoclassic.com :: the history of classic cars : 1949 Rover P4
		At this time Rover’s measured, gradual but totally focused approach to building, equipping and marketing its cars had been maturing for well over a decade, for it was the arrival of Wilks as Rover’s managing director in the 1930s which had made it all possible.
		The P4 (which indicated that this was the first phase in a long-term plan of model development) was much like its predecessors, though it looked more modern and incorporated a number of mechanical innovations.
		The P4 had all the old-fashioned virtues of grace, understated good taste, long experience, and a certain standing in society, so it was no wonder that, quite without Rover’s intention, it soon became known as ‘Auntie Rover’.

		Rover models 75/90/95/100/105/110 were six-cylinder cars, while the Rover models 60/80 were more reasonably priced four-cylinder cars which appeared after the the P4 line was already well established.
		The engine was based on the Land Rover engine and some feel it was better suited to the off-road vehicle.
		The 2.3 litre Model 80 engine was also based on the Land Rover engine but gained greater acceptance being the only OHV engine to go into a P4 and being both perkier and smoother in operation.

	4Car Feature - Jubilee cars - from Channel 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03)
		This stately saloon was a dignified, subtle motor car - apart from its brash "Cyclops" single central auxillary headlamp, which was dropped in a hasty facelift of the range in early 1952.
		The 75 P4 also spawned another model, the economy-biased 60, which was fitted with the Land Rover's engine, and the subsequently updated P4 models took the range on into the early 60s.
		Though eventually known as Auntie Rovers, because your relative of that name often had one, the P4 was quite an advanced car when it was launched, gaining a reputation for being old-fashioned largely because of the cars' longevity, for they were meticulously well made.

	Rover Sedans in Miniature
		Rover consistently employed new technology and built cars with shaft drive, hemispherical combustion chambers and overhead camshafts years before many companies had even heard of such things.
		The pre-war platforms were finally displaced by the P3 of 1948; however, although Rover had injected a considerable amount of new technology beneath the surface, the cars had to soldier on with late 1930s styling inherited from the earlier cars.
		Although spearheaded by BL, the SD1 was essentially a Rover from its very inception: most of the design team were former Rover engineers, much of the company's pre-existing outlines for a P6 replacement were employed and it was decided early on that the new car would use Solihull's trademark light-alloy V8.

		In fact, rumour at the time of the launch, was that Rover's technical director, Maurice Wilks, had brought two Studebakers over from the States and used these to help develop and loosely base their new saloon around.
		Interestingly, Rover's experimental gas-turbined car JET 1, first seen by the public in 1950, was based on the model.
		The P4 is extremely well catered for by enthusiasts such as members of the Rover P4 Drivers Guild.

	Rover 95 P4 1963 registration no. NCC 966 for sale
		These cars are nicknamed "Auntie Rovers" because when they were introduced contemporary journalists compared them with sitting in Auntie's front room on leather seats upon wilton carpets and walnut furniture with the silence only broken by the ticking of the clock.
		P4 trophy hunters have been known to roll round in the dirt fighting over these at autojumbles!
		True it was the first P4 to have neither freewheel nor overdrive but the simplicity of the higher ratio back axle makes it a much easier to maintain classic today as there is less to go wrong and the drive train is bomb proof.

		Rover P4s are not particularly prone to rust and a close inspection of the most likely areas; the rear wheel arches, the front wings around the headlamps and the section at the bottom just forward of the front doors, revealed no evidence of corrosion or repairs.
		We had test driven a P4 a few weeks earlier and found that it liked to go in any direction other than the one in which the steering wheel was pointing.
		This is quite wrong for a P4 Rover as the pin housing should be topped up to the level plug with an SAE 140 oil.

	The Rover P4 Site
		The Rover P4 series cars were produced by The Rover Company Limited of Solihull, Warwickshire from 1950 to 1964, during which period over 130,000 cars were built.
		The Rover’s design, level of engineering, build quality, and general air of refinement earned it the sobriquet “The Poor Man's Rolls-Royce”, although “poor” was a relative term -- a Rover 90 cost over £1500 (about $4200 U.S.) in 1959.

		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.

		In the meantime, Rover experimented with gas turbine power units in P4 bodies and created the famous JET 1.
