The Rover Company Limited was a British car manufacturing company that operated from its base in Solihull in Warwickshire. This company initially manufactured cycles and motorcycles. The Rover company began producing automobiles with the two-seater Rover Eight to the designs of Edmund Lewis.

The Rover 10/25 (pictured above) was a small car built by Rover in mid-1927. This motor car was available as an open tourer or semi-sports tourer or as a 4-seater saloon. The 1950s and '60s were fruitful years for the company. The Land Rover became a runaway success. Rover was sold to Leyland Motors in 1967, which had already acquired Standard-Triumph seven years earlier. This was the beginning of the end for the independent Rover Company.
