Paperback. Etat : Good. Rover 2000 and 2200 1963?1977 (1983) by R. M. Clarke Brooklands Book Distribution | ISBN: 0907073867 Condition: Good As sold by Crappy Old Books There are cars that make a fuss. Then there?s the Rover 2000 / 2200 approach: quiet confidence, clean lines, and the steady belief that being right is better than being loud. If you?ve ever admired a car for looking like it could chair a committee, drive to the opera, and still get you home in the rain without drama, congratulations ? you already understand the Rover P6 vibe. This Brooklands volume is a proper treat for anyone who likes their motoring history served the classic way: period road tests, contemporary reviews, specs and commentary , all gathered together so you can read what the motoring press thought at the time , not what people claim they thought later after prices went up and nostalgia became a hobby. The Rover 2000, arriving in the early 1960s, was one of those cars that made Britain look briefly modern, clever, and slightly futuristic. It was engineered, it was innovative, it was designed with a kind of clean, architectural seriousness ? a car that didn?t try to be glamorous so much as correct . Then the 2200 followed, bringing more shove, more refinement, and the sense that Rover knew exactly who its customers were: people who liked proper engineering, proper comfort, and the subtle social power of a car that says ?I?m doing well? without shouting it across the car park. And that?s where the fun of this book really lies: the tone of the reviews. Period road testers had a particular style ? part gentlemanly authority, part technical obsession, part quiet judgement. They?ll praise ride quality like it?s a moral virtue. They?ll discuss handling with the seriousness of national policy. They?ll describe acceleration in a way that makes 0?60 sound like a philosophical journey. And every now and then, they?ll politely note something catastrophic in that dry British way that translates as: ?This is unacceptable, but we shall not be dramatic.? As a 1963?1977 range, this also spans an era where the whole world changed while the Rover calmly continued being itself: the swing of the 60s, the squeeze of the 70s, oil crises, shifting tastes, new rivals ? and yet the P6 kept doing that signature Rover thing: thoughtful engineering wrapped in understated style, with an interior that makes you feel you should own a better umbrella. If you?re restoring one, dreaming of one, remembering one, or simply fascinated by how cars used to be written about when ?refinement? was a headline feature, this is a cracking slice of motoring time travel. The Brooklands format is perfect for it: you can dip in, compare tests, spot the recurring praises and complaints, and watch the narrative evolve across the years as updates arrive and expectations change. This copy is Good , meaning it?s been handled and enjoyed ? as it should be. These books are meant to be pored over, not sealed in plastic. Expect honest wear, but plenty of life left for another round of armchair motoring. From Crappy Old Books : because some classics don?t roar. They purr , they cruise, they corner with dignity ? and they leave behind enough road tests to prove they were never just ?an old Rover.? They were an idea of how to do things properly.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Rover 3500 ? 1968?77 (1986) by R. M. Clarke Brooklands Book Distribution | ISBN: 094820771X Condition: Good As sold by Crappy Old Books There are cars that merely exist , and then there are cars that arrive with an air of quiet authority, as if they?ve just come from a meeting where important decisions were made about sherry, walnut veneer, and the correct pace at which one should overtake a Morris Marina. The Rover 3500 (1968?77) is very much in the second category ? and this Brooklands volume is your passport into its handsome, V8-shaped universe. This is not a novel. It?s better (for the right person). It?s a Brooklands compilation ? the kind of book that does what Brooklands does best: gathers period road tests, reviews, specifications and contemporary commentary into one satisfyingly nostalgic package. In other words, it lets you experience the Rover 3500 as the motoring press experienced it at the time , when flared trousers were still a real threat and ?refinement? was something you could measure in the thickness of carpet. The Rover 3500 itself has always been a wonderfully British contradiction: executive saloon manners with a V8 heartbeat, a car that could do ?respectable? and ?surprisingly brisk? in the same breath. It?s the sort of machine that makes you picture a driver who is calm, composed, and faintly smug ? not because they?re trying to show off, but because they?ve chosen something that feels correct . A car for people who liked comfort, competence, and the sense that they?ve bought into a better class of motoring without having to shout about it. Inside this book you?ll find the period verdicts: what it was like to drive, how it compared to rivals, what journalists admired, what they nit-picked, what they thought about performance, handling, build, economy (ahem), and the overall Rover ?feel.? And because it?s a time capsule, you also get the era?s tone ? that wonderfully confident, faintly paternal motoring writing where people discuss suspension and steering as if they?re giving life advice. There?s also something deeply satisfying about a book that covers 1968?1977 , because it spans a deliciously specific moment in British motoring: the tail end of the ?proper? executive saloon era, when cars still had real chrome, real wood, and real optimism, right before the world got a bit more complicated. The Rover 3500 sits right in that sweet spot: modern enough to be usable, old enough to be charismatic, and prestigious enough to make you feel you should be wearing a better jacket. This copy is Good , meaning it?s been used as intended ? consulted, leafed through, possibly pointed at while someone says, ?See! They did say it was brilliant.? It?s ideal for the enthusiast, the restorer, the nostalgia collector, or anyone who simply enjoys looking at a car era where brochures and road tests were written with the seriousness of state documents. From Crappy Old Books : because not everyone wants supercars and spoilers. Some of us want a Rover with a V8, a comfortable cabin, and a book that proves it was always a very sensible choice? even if the fuel gauge occasionally disagreed.…
