Testimonials

"Wow, what can I say! It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you in the recent purchase of our classic car. You went over and above to ensure everything was 100% with the vehicle before taking possession, and we could not be happier with the car, so thankyou very much! The tour through your building was a highlight for my parents, reminiscing about the Jaguar days all those years ago. They will not forget the day and your hospitality. I dont think this will be our last purchase from WCC."
Matt Withers, Rangiora, New Zealand

      Description

       

      The P5B was a carry over from the P5 3.0 Liter with some minor differences such as fog lights, stainless body trim etc.

      The big difference is in the power plant. The all aluminum V8 Buick engine. This motor proved itself in the Rover family over many generations. The first being the P5B. The 'B' in P5B denotes Buick.

      ABOUT THIS CAR

      • Chassis 84100339D
      • Engine 84009082C

      When introduced in 1958, the P5 was Rover's undoubted flagship - and a return to the upper echelons of the executive car market for its maker.

      Being big, sturdy and incredibly well-made, it soon became the favoured transport of British prime ministers and royalty. Styling had been penned by David Bache, while the monocoque body (Rover’s first) had been engineered by Spen King and Gordon Bashford - all of whom would achieve superstardom because of their work on the Range Rover.

      The P5B with the muscular new engine improved performance, and economy. It had a very different appeal to the straight-six, and quickly supplanted it - remaining in production until 1973.

      A very desirable classic in excellent order - Do not miss out on this one.

      Car will be sold WOF’d and Registered.

      TRANSPORT / WORLDWIDE SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.
