A different tangent to add to the others on the go. As many would know, after initially looking at expanding into the North American market in 1948/49, Rover turned sales of their cars and Land-Rovers over to Rootes Motors (North America), an arrangement that was to last until 1958, when Rover directly entered the North American marketplace. What Land-Rover products were sold into North America is fairly well known from a statistical standpoint. [1]
I am curious to know if anyone has seen reference to how many Rover cars were sold into the US and Canada? Has anyone been by Gaydon to look at the build records or done this type of enquiry?
Thank you,
Dixon Kenner
