THE Rover Co. Ltd. was associated with Air Commodore Sir Frank Whittle during the early stages of the production of the original Whittle-type turbojet engines in 1941–42. Two of their engines were taken over by Rolls-Royce and after further development gave rise to the well-known Nene and Derwent engines. At the conclusion of the Second World War the Company embarked on a development programme for small gas turbine units with the eventual goal being a unit suitable for installation in a motor car. This work is well-advanced but no date has been given as the likely time at which a production version of the gas turbine driven car will be available.
