The Light Six was one of the Rover cars built when Spencer and Maurice Wilks, who joined Rover in 1929 and 1930, introduced new management practices and engineering techniques. Its 2 liter straight six overhead valve engine, designed by Peter Poppe, gave 45 horsepower at 3600 revolutions and a top speed of 60 miles an hour, and the 65 millimeter bore put it in the 16 horsepower tax class. Its model years run from 1929 to 1930.
