Rover T3 is a gas turbine-powered coupé developed in the 1950s by the Rover Company. Showcasing Britain's leading role in the development of this new technology, the Rover T3 was launched at the Earls Court Motor Show in November 1956 (stand 153).[1][2][3], which was captured on film by British Pathé.[4] The T3 coupé was Rover’s third turbine car, designed by Charles Spencer King and Gordon Bashford.
