Wind Back Time
1967 Rover P5 MK3 3000
Specifications
Description
The Rover P5 is a large, stately British luxury car, produced between 1958 and 1973.
The “Mk III” 3000 version means it’s the 3‑litre straight‑six (2,995 cc) engine, upgraded power, deluxe interior and trim, and available in both saloon and 4‑door coupé body styles.
If you love the idea of classic British luxury, the style and character, then the P5 Mk III 3000 is absolutely rewarding. It’s not a daily driver in the way a new car is, but for certain owners it hits the sweet spot: comfort, prestige, charm, that “something different” factor.
