From Rover 75 to Range Rover, Rover cars are one of the British car manufacturers with most stories to tell.

Rover was founded in 1885 by John Kemp Starley and William Sutton. In early days the company focused on building modern bicycle, tricycle, and motorcycle. In 1888, Starley made an electric car but it was never put into production.
