Good morning, The seasonal rabbit hole of last has been a survey, or really it has turned into a census, of Rover North America, and later British Leyland (NA) advertising. While Rover NA was established in 1958, it wasn't until 1959 that the first advert appeared (for the 3 litre). Advertising continues, sometimes with a good bit of humour and tongue in cheek, through to their acquisition by BL where advertising seems to peter out around 1971, at least for Rover cars. Land-Rover continues to 1974/5 when it was withdrawn from the market. I realise that the 3500S NADA was withdrawn in 1971. So, all of this to say:
Would anyone know of exports to Canada and the USA for the 2000? When did the 2000 stop to North America? Or did the 3500S supplant the 2000? [1]
Supplemental question: Have there ever been sales numbers published for North America?
Thank you,
Dixon
