Beskrivning
Revolutionary when new, and still well respected today, Rover's P6 makes a practical and enjoyable classic.
Back in 1963, the Rover P6 epitomised quality and sophistication that rivals struggled to match. It was advanced, yet didn't scare buyers - in fact, it became Britain's favourite executive car during the 1960s and '70s.
Rover was known as a maker of refined and staid cars for the professional classes until 1963. That was when its young engineers' bright ideas were let out on an unsuspecting world in the Rover 2000. Base-unit construction with unstressed panels, all-round disc brakes, racing-type De Dion rear suspension, even a rallying programme¦ it all lowered the average age of a Rover buyer by 10 years. The four-cylinder 2000 became a 2200 in 1973, after being joined by the pocket-rocket V8-powered 3500 and the more desirable 3500 ‘S'.
The manual box 3500 S was the motorway police favourite and once you drive this car, you'll understand why.
ABOUT THIS CAR
Six (mostly) long term owners.
With a top speed of circa 122 MPH, this Rover gets under your skin. It feels great. It sounds great and it goes great.
A most exciting car to drive, this car being an ‘S', benefited from improved performance. A high performance sporting saloon – one that can be enjoyed as a daily driver and/ or as a weekend classic. It can be driven at speeds all day and wouldn't miss a beat.
Good, Honest Car with a straight body and beautiful paint.
Interior is like new
Performance galore - and what a roar this car makes.
The brakes - discs all round, provide good strong stopping power.
5 speed gearbox and Power Steering - what a difference this makes.
A technically audacious classic car that encapsulates establishment values, feels beautifully made – a car that is more than capable of coping with the speeds of modern traffic. And yet, for all of its innovations, it won't break the bank to buy or run.
Rare & Desirable in manual.
Buy now while these cars are still (relatively) cheap. They are durable classics with family practicality, and running-costs are quite reasonable. Like all "Rover Company" Rovers, they also have a great deal of charm.
Remember that material goods aren't the only things that can be passed down from fathers to sons. Interests and enthusiasm are intangibles that, given some nurturing and the right circumstances, can easily bridge the generation gap and this classic has the additional honor of representing good health and a continuing celebration of life.
TRANSPORT / WORLDWIDE SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.
