No Reserve 1965 Rover TC 2000, A Thrifty Thursday Offering

This 1965 Rover TC 2000 four-door sedan is finished in black with a contrasting white roof, a red interior and is offered at NO RESERVE. Exterior features include chrome bumpers, factory brightwork, quad headlamps, distinctive vertical tail lamps, and “ROVER” block lettering across the rear deck. A TC badge adorns the front of the hood, and the car rides on untested P175/70 R14 Dayton Quadra tires mounted to 14-inch wheels. The odometer reading is not documented, and total mileage is unknown (TMU).

The cabin is trimmed in red leather upholstery and configured with a four-door layout. While detailed information on the interior equipment and instrumentation is not available, specifications for the model included a horizontal ribbon speedometer up to 120 MPH, a 7000 max RPM tachometer, full width wood veneer dashboard panel, two spoke steering wheel, AM/FM radio, front bucket seats and a rear bench seat. The interior can partially be seen in photographs through the car windows and displays a complete seating arrangement and wear consistent with age and long-term heated indoor storage.

Power is supplied by a single overhead camshaft 2 litre inline-four, equipped with twin SU carburetors and factory rated at 122 HP. A four-speed manual synchromesh transmission teams with rear-wheel drive. The Rover P6 chassis incorporates De Dion rear suspension and servo-assisted disc brakes at all four corners, both of which were innovative for sedans of the era. The car will require mechanical inspection and restoration before road use.

The sale includes a binder of photographs and handwritten service records documenting several decades of ownership. Additional notes cover routine servicing, fuel consumption, and seasonal driving, illustrating a long history of careful stewardship.

This 1965 Rover 2000 TC is offered with a book of records and a clean registration by the seller in Moncton, New Brunswick.

Important Notes: The owner has engaged the seller to oversee the sale of various items including a car collection during a downsizing. While this sedan was photographed by CCC, there was no battery in the car when we attended. So, it was neither started nor driven while we were on site. This car is offered as is, where is with no representations made by the owner beyond the photographs. The vehicle is to be collected from the photographed heated storage facility. It being a private home, no repairs can be carried out at the seller’s site.
