Rover P4 75 MkII

Overview
Produced: 1954-1959
Types: Saloon,4 doors,4 seats

Rover updated its best selling 75 saloon in 1954. The new 75 featured a three piece wraparound rear window and some trim revisions. From 1957 it received the same panel-work revisions as the rest of the P4 range, which included a new grille. New front wings and rear styling differences.

The 75 continued to use the 2103cc six cylinder engine until 1955. From 1955 a 80hp six cylinder engine of 2230cc was fitted which improved performance. Production of the 75 finished in 1959 and was effectively replaced by the P4 100 model.
