Introduced shortly after the end of the Second World War, the ‘Auntie’ Rovers brought the British marque into the modern era and quickly became an integral part of British motoring culture, while finding celebrity owners in many other countries. The model featured a generous boot, a well-appointed and roomy cabin and distinctive ‘suicide’ rear-hinged front doors, and evolved over a 14-year production run to add more power and updated features. The 100 represents a later development of the P4, with a 2.6-litre straight-six engine that could propel it to 100mph, an overdrive gearbox and Girling disc brakes up front.
 
The vendor bought this charming car in 2020, since when they have carried out a ‘rolling restoration’. The exterior wears its two-tone cream-over-dark grey paintwork very well, and the rear bumper and over-riders have recently been re-chromed. The delightful and luxurious interior is highly original, with the blue leather seats and door panels recently  reconnolised, and the timber dashboard and door window surrounds complete. The vendor reports that all instruments and switches are in working order.
 
The underside is extremely clean and well-presented, and the vendor reports that the car is “running well”. It benefits from a recent service, and the vendor states that the front suspension, brakes and radiator have all been rebuilt or reconditioned.
 
The car’s appearance in an article in the Rover P4 Drivers Guild magazine is a testament to its originality and the quality of the work carried out on it. This fine example of a much-loved Rover is ready to be enjoyed and admired straight away.
