Rover P6B 3500S -
Rover introduced the 3500S in late 1973. Retaining all the refinement expected of the P6 range the manual transmission V8 delivered over 120mph with 0/ 60 performance in just nine seconds and was well received by press & public alike.
Our 3500S was delivered new to Mann Egerton, Derby on 5th November 1974. Mr Roy Trippas, the second owner, purchased the car from Archers of Solihull in May 1975 and he retained the Rover for over 30 years. The car has now covered 54, 000 miles with 5 owners and is simply the most original and unmolested P6 we have ever seen. The car has absolutely no evidence of corrosion and has never been welded. The interior is utterly original down to the box pleat upholstery (the 3500S never had leather) and Motorola radio. The history folder includes the original owner’s wallet and booklets, original Archers of Solihull tax disc holder/ key fob.
The stunning mexico brown paint was refreshed in 2012 by Aldridge Automotive of Wolverhampton and the car retains the original Huntsman Brown vinyl roof. Upgraded with electronic ignition the engine starts first time every time, shows excellent oil pressure and the V8 sound is addictive. The manual gearbox is smooth with new linkage bushes and the Rover is an absolute delight to drive.
Rust free P6B’s are almost impossible to find and this is the most original and unmolested 3500S that we have ever seen.
