Rover Company

Consumer Discretionary

The Rover Company was a British maker of bicycles, motorcycles and cars, based at Solihull, that traded independently from 1878 until it was bought by Leyland Motors in 1967. It created the Land Rover in 1948 and the Range Rover in 1970. Most of its assets passed in 1978 to a new subsidiary, Land Rover Ltd, while the Rover name stayed on other British Leyland cars and later gave its name to the whole Rover Group. Today the Rover marque is dormant and is held by Jaguar Land Rover, which still works from the old Rover plant at Solihull.
