Designed by Spen King, Gordon Bashford and David Bache, the new Rover P6 represented a design aimed at appealing to a wider clientelle than the traditional Rover buyer.The design was advanced for the time with a de Dion tube suspension at the rear, four-wheel disc brakes (inboard on the rear), and a fully synchromesh transmission. The unibody design featured non-stressed panels bolted to a unit frame, inspired by the Citroën DS. The de Dion set-up was unique in that the "tube" was in two parts that could telescope, thereby avoiding the need for sliding splines in the drive shafts,
The first series of the P6 Rover 2000, launched in 1963, was powered by a 1978cc engine of 104bhp at the time the engine was unusual in having an overhead camshaft layout. The cylinder head had a perfectly flat surface, and the combustion chambers were cast into the piston crowns (sometimes known as a Heron head). Rover later developed a twin carburettor version, marketing the two cars as 2000SC and 2000TC.
The Mark II version was launched in 1970 with the same basic design as the original, but with an external facelift featuring egg box style grille and a contoured bonnet panel with the interior also refreshed.
