The launch model was the 1949 6 cylinder 75, commonly called the ‘Cyclops’ because of its centrally mounted third headlamp. The model range was consistently updated throughout the lengthy production period and in 1959 comprised just two variants, the 4 cylinder Rover 80 and the 6 cylinder Rover 100 as seen here. It has a luxurious wood and leather interior and servo assisted disc brakes and overdrive. Of the 130,321 P4’s built ,YJG 100 is one of 16,621 P4 100 models produced.
