Vanguards Rover p4
The archetypal British postwar car beloved of the professional classes
One of the world’s best engineered cars. One of Britain’s fine cars.
Two advertising slogans that Rover used for years and years for cars that lasted for years and years, virtually indestructible, unfailingly dependable, produced by the company that got Frank Whittles revolutionary invention, the jet engine, to actually WORK. Rolls Royce keep very quiet about this! It was Rover who did the apparently impossible.
Does the corgi model encapsulate Rovers design philosophy? I think it does! I’ve been driving these cars since 1963 so I should know. Completely under-rated now except by those who
know better, this Rover model embodies those attributes that we used to associate with Rover until they finally lost their independence in the mid sixties.
The Vanguards Rover though beautifully finished in true Rover style also epitomises great strength and ruggedness, dependability, a no- nonsense lets get on with it approach to motoring. But it’s sophisticated and refined, smooth as cream and will last indefinitely if maintained properly! Hoorah for the Rover P4! Well done, Vanguards, for your faithful modelling of this great-hearted car.
