Rover, Solihull, England.  The Rover 2000 was the very first European Car of the Year in 1964.  It had a new Rover 4 cylinder 2 litre engine and was a leap ahead from previous Rovers.  The series was built from 1963 to 1976.  It was intended as an executive saloon with more appeal to younger drivers than previous Rover models.  The SC had a single carburettor and the TC had twin carburettors.  Roger Clark co-driven by Jim Porter in a Rover 2000  finished sixth in 1965 Monte Carlo Rally and won the Group 1 class, a great driver in the difficult conditions that year. They also finished tenth in the Alpine Rally.
