The P6, an executive class 4-door saloon, was produced between 1963 and 1977, first by Rover (1963-1967), then Leyland Motors (1967-68) and finally by British Leyland (1968-1977). It was voted European Car of the Year in 1964, at a time when the vehicle was being manufactured by British Leyland at their Solihull Works. It came with a four-speed manual gearbox or with a 3-speed automatic transmission on the higher power variants. It was considered ahead of its time in some respects, with unique safety and design features, one being that it carried the battery in the boot! The last Rover P6 rolled off the production line in March 1977, succeeded by the Rover SD 1.
