They were named 2000, 2200 or 3500 depending on engine displacement and sold as 4-door saloons with rear-wheel drive and the engine mounted at the front. In total, more than 322,000 examples of the P6 were produced and the was also the first winner of the European Car of the Year award.
The Rover 2000 was produced in between 1963 and 1973. It was powered by a 2-litre I4 engine with 104 hp (78 kW). In 1966, the 2000 TC was introduced, which had a more powerful engine (110 hp, 82 kW), a larger starter motor and tachometer as standard. It was originally intended for overseas sales only due to the lack of sufficient intake manifolds, this was eventually resolved and was made available to the UK as well. In total, over 208,000 examples of the 2000 were produced.
