In 1950, three English enthusiasts presented a sports car based on the Rover saloon of the time. They called the car the Marauder. Despite good facilities and favorable feedback from car testers, the enterprising carmakers ran out of funds after producing fifteen vehicles in 1952. Around a dozen vehicles survived. This report tells the story of the Marauder's origins, supported by contemporary photos, brochures and press material.
The Rover P4 was called "Auntie" at the time, not because it was slow and talkative, but because it was reliable and likeable. Carefully designed, it was built for 15 years and became one of the most successful post-war cars in Europe. To this day, the Rover P4 has not lost its appeal as a vehicle, as this driving report with a Rover 100 proves. Many pictures, a sales brochure and a sound sample complete the article.
The Rover was never a car for fashionistas, rather it appealed to the "old British gentleman". This image seemed to secure Rover's immediate post-war future. And so they set about developing the Rover P-4, which was to be the main source of sales for the British car manufacturer for many years. This report tells the story of this important model and shows it in historical illustrations and the original sales brochure from the time.
