The Appeal
The 3500S was a revolutionary car for Rover at the time. The P6 might have started out with a small engine, but when Rover added the big V8 to the advanced platform they created something very special. Luxurious, fast and great looking the 3500 was a big hit amongst the motoring community.
This big Rover has only had two owners from new (three registered keepers) and has covered less than 50k miles. Restored by the current owner to a high standard and MOT’d (even though it's exempt) it’s ready to drive or show.
