1969 rover TC2000 RARE VINTAGE!!

Rover was an independent company when it introduced the TC 2000. but by the time my '69 model came off the assembly line. the company had become part of British Leyland. (It would eventually become part of British Aerospace. BMW. Ford and Phoenix Consortium before the name was acquired by India-based Tata Motors in 2008. )

 By Many of the Rover's safety features are still considered cutting edge. even 40 years later. The car had disc brakes on all four wheels. not just the front two. as is still the case with most contemporary cars. There were front and rear anti-rollover bars and the gasoline tank was located ahead of the rear axle. protecting occupants from rear-end collision explosions and fires. The car also had a parallel braking system to ensure stopping power if any one system failed.

 Despite all these safety features. there were few personalization options available for customers. As I recall. the choices included air-conditioning. standard or automatic transmission and wheel type All models were four-door sedans; convertibles or station wagons were not available.

 I learned that Rover had a reputation for fine quality and service. and that the model I was interested in - the TC 2000 (twin-carburetor 2. 00-cubic-inch engine) - was actually quite a departure from Rover's rather stodgy legacy. It had become known as "the poor man's Rolls Royce" because of the high-level workmanship.

 This car it runs and drives excellent its been restored and it comes with lots of recipte for work been done to the car. i did not do any of the work the previous owner did and he gave me all the paper work when i bought the car!!i drove the car all over and the only thing i notice is the breaks need to be worked on may be bleeding or it could be more i really dont know but always stops the car !! the interior it looke origional it has crack on the top of the dash . the origional carpet its not that great also the bottom of the passenger seat need to by redone as well the top of the rear bench its cracked! the door panels are saging on the driver side . new tires all around costume dual muffler it sound great!! lots of money been spent on this car. ill provide buyer with all paper work. origional books and keys.
