Highlights

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.
The History and Paperwork
- V5 Present and correct
- Extensive selection of historic MOT’s documenting the low mileage
- Heritage certificate
- Same owner for 12 years
The Interior
- Highly original
- Very good overall condition
- Dashboard, headlining, carpets and trim all presents well
- Cream leather seats are all in good condition, whilst the front seats would benefit from a professional clean
- Original Rover 3500 steering wheel
The Exterior
- Very good condition
- Finished in Cameron Green
- Resprayed in the original colour by the current owner
- All of the wheels present very well and the tyres have lots of tread
- Brightwork all in very good condition
- Black vinyl covering all in very good condition
- One small area of bubbling on the bonnet as shown in the images
The Mechanics
- Starts easily and idles smoothly
- The 3.5l V8 sounds fantastic through the full stainless steel exhaust
- The vendor informs us that they had a restoration carried out by Millers of Sussex when they first purchased the car that included lots of new suspension components as well as extensive work to the body
- The owner informs us that it drives exactly as it should, accelerating well, shifting smoothly and braking quickly
- The engine bay presents well for its age
- The underside presents very well

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
