1969 Rover 2000TC 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.) Many of the Rovers 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. 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. Rover had a reputation for fine quality and service, and that the TC 2000 (twin-carburetor 2,000-cubic-inch engine) - was actually quite a departure from Rovers rather stodgy legacy. It had become known as the poor mans Rolls Royce because of the high-level workmanship. have a lot of service records car runs and drives great ! Just recently spent $2400 on the breaks water pump and other things. have receipt for all work been done also car needs a paint job !
