these cars are very much part of british culture and were driven by royalty including grace kelly.

this model features the four-speed manual transmission floor-mounted mechanism introduced in september 1953, replacing the clunky column-mounted gear lever. This was rover’s response to the dislike of many motorists for the steering column gear change with its complex linkages. The shape of the new lever still allowed three people to make use of the front bench seat.

only 3299 of these vehicles were produced in 1957 which featured the shortest production run for any production year.
