Rover P5 in Burgundy 1964 for £16,495

Description

1964 Rover P5 3-Litre Coupe finished in Burgundy with Stone and with a Light Grey leather interior. Launched in Autumn 1962, the Rover P5 was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and later Coupe guises - both of which employed four doors - the big Rover was the luxuriously-equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung live rear axle and disc/drum brakes. The initial 3.0-litre OISE straight-six engine was a development of the one used by its P4 stablemate (the production runs of the two models over-lapped), and automatic transmission, overdrive on the manual, and Burman power steering were all optional, with overdrive becoming standard from May 1960. Finished in Burgundy with Stone and with a Light Grey leather interior, EWC443B was first registered on the 10th of August 1964, to the first owner, Maurice Langridge of Brentwood, Essex. The P5 is offered with a number of old tax discs, a Rover book pack with the Rover Service book, Rover Distributors and Dealers book, Rover Service Guide and Warranty book, Rover Owners Instruction Manual. A spare set of tyres, interior woodwork, factory spot lamps plus spares are included in the sale and a new exhaust has been fitted. These large and imposing Rovers still look excellent value, this fine example, with its comprehensive history is well worth close inspection. We think this is a car that any collector or enthusiast would be pleased to own. Upon test drive this Rover drove just as she should with a strong engine mated to a smooth automatic gearbox making it a very usable classic and very comfortable for long distance journeys as well as a local run around. Absolutely any inspection is welcome. All major debit cards accepted. Please contact us for any further information. Delivery to mainland UK included in the asking price.
