1959 Rover P4 75 For Sale
The car comes with a comprehensive file of paperwork following it’s history and receipts for work done - incredibly we still have the original receipt from new dated 1st May 1959 from Murkett Brothers Ltd of Huntingdon Road, Cambridge made out to H. H. Parker Esq., of Cambridge for total of £1434. 0. 10. We also have the original Line Number Card.
The 1959 P4 75 benefits from many of the panels (bonnet/ doors etc.) being in aluminium, the front, wings and ’skirts’ are reasonably good with only a few small rust spots. Features a bench front seat and ‘freewheel’ and the original tool box tray. We have also added a tow bar during our tenure.
We commissioned a recommended restoration mechanic to undergo some work in late 90’s; restoring engine to good working condition, adjusting steering, installing reconditioned gearbox and restoring concealed areas - chassis and suspension. We purchased a new bespoke made stainless exhaust, fitted at the same time as this work. (This work took a considerable amount of time and money at this time to get the car mechanically sound.) The car was resprayed to match its original colour but over time left standing and sorn it now requires respraying. There are only small areas of rust on the body work. The rear chrome works - bumper - has rust, so would need re chroming.
The front bench seat and rear leather seats are both original, but front is very worn and splitting in places. The carpets are original. The front dash is also all original and in good condition. The quarter light window seals were replaced along with other work in the late 90’s and the wood window trims were revarnished. We have x4 Radial tyres issued through the P4 Guild Members club.
In our time since purchasing we drove the car daily and as members of the P4 Guild attended many of their Members Rallies, and the car was awarded a shield at the Bressingham event in 1989.
We are the third owners from new having owned the car for nearly 33 years. We used the car regularly for 10 years, we spent a great deal of money with various Rover specialists to get the car mechanically sound, but has not been on the road for the last 20 years, as the car fell out of use due to other commitments.
Mechanically the car is sound and had been overhauled prior to being laid up. Car would benefit from a re-spray, some attention to chrome and interior seats and will need to be re-commissioned. Brakes do not work due to standing for over 20 years. A new battery will also be required...
We had intended to restore the car fully but due to impending loss of storage space and other demands on our time mean that with regret we have decided that we need to sell this car. Car will need to be collected via trailer.
In consideration of the above we are asking
£ 2, 500. 00
Cash payment on collection preferred.
