Freight Rover was a British light commercial vehicle manufacturer and originally part of British Leyland (BLMC/BL) and later the Rover Group which existed from 1981 to 1987, and was based in the Washwood Heath area of Birmingham, England. The company had its origins in the Austin-Morris division of BLMC and its sole product was the Sherpa family of light panel vans, which ultimately evolved into the LDV Pilot and Convoy models.
