Rover typewriters are often associated with affordable, portable machines produced in the mid to late 20th century, primarily for the budget-conscious home or student market. Though not manufactured by a well-known typewriter giant, many Rover models were rebranded imports from Asian manufacturers, especially in the 1970s and 1980s, sometimes mimicking the style of earlier European designs. While not built for heavy-duty use, their lightweight frames and retro appeal make them a fun, entry-level option for casual typists or collectors seeking something a little off the beaten track.
