For sale is this Rover P5 3.0 Litre, built in August 1964, one of the most representative British luxury saloons of the 1960s. The P5 was Rover’s flagship model and became closely associated with official and governmental use, renowned for its build quality, comfort and understated elegance. This example is finished in black with red leather interior and red carpets, a rare and very attractive period combination.
The car is complete and original, fully assembled, with no missing or broken parts, making it an excellent and increasingly rare base for restoration. The body shows no signs of rust and the car has been stored in a garage. Paintwork and chrome require full refurbishment, which is reflected in the asking price. The interior is in good original condition: no tears in the seats, carpets show minimal wear and the wood trim is complete, requiring only cosmetic restoration.
Powered by the 3.0 litre inline six-cylinder engine paired with a manual gearbox, a desirable specification among enthusiasts. The car has not yet been started, but was running when parked approximately two years ago, so prospects are considered good, subject to a standard recommissioning. A very honest and solid Rover P5 with strong potential for restoration and long-term value.
