If you want a car that's affordable, a pleasure to drive, and harks back to a great period in British automotive history, consider a Rover. Formed in 1878, the Rover Company started life making motorcycles, switching to cars in 1904. Ultimately, however, a series of takeovers saw the decline of the brand.
Today, the Rover marque is sadly dormant with nothing in production. However, you can still get your hands on a great range of second-hand Rover cars at Motors.co.uk. Typically, Rover vehicles have a unique blend of power, precision, and style you wouldn't usually find from a UK manufacturer.
