1965 Rover 3 litre Coupe , automatic Mk2 For Sale
Very much the sporting gentleman’s alternative to the “cads” Jag Mk2. The saloon version was the “establishment” car and the coupe became the dream of many a cabinet minister after they left office.
I have owned this example for a few years now and decided on a gentle refurb which turned into a full on two year bare metal respray and trim recondition. Along the way I rebuilt the engine , refurbed the brakes, and made all the electrics work (mostly). The suspension and structure are in excellent condition , never been welded as far as I can see having stripped all the paint off.
Currently looks a million dollers , undersealed and waxoiled all round, new tyres all round, drives really well – kickdown surprises a few modern cars at the traffic lights. Handling is ponderous but predictable. Good shocks, springs and uprated anti roll bar.
As with any 60 year old machine there is always something to do. In this case the tachometer for reasons I have yet to understand reads in double time I’ve done all the obvious including changing every component in the system yet it still persists. The gearbox leaks slightly– however I am including a supposedly reconditioned Borg Warner DG gearbox with the car to be fitted at your leisure. The original radio is definitely choosy in what it picks up – occasionally I get radio1 and sometimes radio 4 LW ! Fuel consumption is verging on the criminal, however it is exempt from MoT and VED tax , ULEZ and in some cities congestion charge ( including Paris ! ) . I also have a spare engine at extra cost if required. I am retiring and no longer have space at my garage business for my collection.
