Girling disc brakes replaced drums at the front from October 1959, and the Rover 80 was announced on 24 October 1959. The Rover 90 was replaced by the Rover 100 in October 1959, when 35,903 had been produced. A freewheel clutch, a traditional Rover feature, was fitted to cars without overdrive until mid 1959, when it was removed from the specifications shortly before the London Motor Show. The Rover 100 replaced the Rover 90 in the range.
