Beskrivning
The Rover P5 model has become known as the Poor man's Rolls. It was and is a classic, solid car that was sold as a competitor to, among others, the Jaguar Mk series. Due to its high quality, the model scored well in English government circles as an official car.
There are two P5 models: the Saloon and the Coupé (from the Mk II series in 1963). In addition, two engine variants are available: the 3 Liter was delivered from 1959 to 1967 and the 3. 5 Liter from 1967 to 1973. The 3 Liter is equipped with a 3 liter six-cylinder overhead valve engine. The 3. 5 Liter (also: P5B) is powered by the 3. 5 liter V8 engine purchased from Buick in 1967.
This original Dutch Rover P5B in Admiralty is from October 1970. The stately car looks beautiful with the Buckskin leather interior in combination with the wood veneer. Nice details such as the Philips radio, extendable table for the gear lever, extra Jaeger meters and a Kienzle clock are also present. The current owner has owned the car for 7 years.
More than the asking price has been invested in the car in recent years. The front brake calipers have been overhauled, brake discs, pads and hoses replaced, new main brake pump, new brake booster, new rear brake cylinders, subframe replaced, engine overhaul, carburetor overhaul, gearbox overhaul and new tires.
