Catalogue information
The Rover 2000 was introduced in 1963. It was one of the most innovative Rover models ever made and a turning point in the design of the modern car. It had an all new overhead camshaft four cylinder engine, an all disc brake system and a de Dion rear axle and was the first British car to be fitted exclusively with radial tires. Its advanced engineering and styling earned it the accolade of "Car of the Year" in the first year that this award was made. Later on, the 2000 range was extended with the V8 engined 3500 model which put Rover on the map as a high performance car. Part of No. 10 Downing Street diorama PD3002 Limited Edition 2,500 pcs.
