Description
When introduced, the Rover P5B 3. 5 Coupé was dubbed the poor man’s Rolls-Royce. What a way to diminish this car’s enduring appeal. Objectively speaking, this is a fantastic automobile in its own right, never needing to be associated with another marque’s product. The example presented here is an original, Dutch-supplied Rover P5B 3. 5 Coupé, one of just 402 left-hand drive versions ever made. Previously restored and more recently fully reupholstered, it embodies both rarity and authenticity.
Exterior: Refined Elegance
The bodywork is in wonderful condition, with nicely thin panels and precise panel gaps. All chrome brightwork and bumpers present extremely well. The car’s lovely “Arden Green” finish is in good order, perfectly complementing the timeless elegance of this distinguished British classic.
Interior: Meticulous Craftsmanship
The interior was recently completely refurbished by a specialist upholsterer. The results are of a superb standard, showcasing sympathetic workmanship that honors the car’s British heritage. Wooden trim on the doors and dashboard is in excellent shape, while all gauges and controls function as intended. Step inside and experience a cabin that effortlessly blends comfort, authenticity, and style.
Engineering: Dependable Performance
Mechanically, this Rover P5B Coupé has been very well maintained. The robust 3. 5-litre aluminum V8, paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission, provides ample torque and ensures the car can easily keep pace with modern traffic. The automatic gearbox delivers a relaxed driving experience, proving that three gears are all you need. Suspension and brakes are in fine condition, ensuring smooth, worry-free journeys. The newly fitted stainless steel exhaust not only sounds superb but guarantees long-lasting durability.
Documentation and Exclusivity
This Rover comes complete with its original owner’s manual and the first Dutch registration papers. In all, it’s an exceptionally rare, very well-maintained Rover P5B Coupé in a strikingly beautiful color combination.
