1972 Rover P5B
Chassis no. 84300380D
Chassis no. 84300380D
• 3.5-Litre Rover V8 engined
• NL registration documents
• Starts, runs and drives
* Please note that this car will be available for viewing by prior appointment in Belgium.
Officially badged as the Rover '3-litre' thanks to its straight-six, 2,995cc engine, the P5 was first introduced to the world in 1958.
Representing a leap forward in terms of technology, style and construction for the Rover brand, the P5 spanned a total of four generations, remaining in production until 1973.
Power steering was available on the options list and the luxuriously appointed (lots of wood and leather) P5 came with all-independent suspension.
The first three models were powered by a three-litre, inline-six IOE engine carried forward from the Rover P4, whilst the 3 1/2 and P5B models featured the now-iconic Buick-derived 3.5-litre Rover V8 engine, which would go on to be one of the most ubiquitous engines of the British car industry in the latter half of the 20th Century.
This 'Admiralty Blue' Rover P5B has been in one ownership for the last 25 years, during which time it underwent a restoration that included a complete respray and the fitting of new sills. A new 'Cream' leather interior was also fitted. It is equipped with a stainless-steel exhaust and the power steering has been upgraded from a Volvo steering rack. The dynamo has recently been replaced and some cosmetic work has been carried out.
It comes with NL registration documents and various valuation reports.
