Description
Just occasionally, a really superb example of a marque appears for sale and this is it.
The Rover P5 series was a group of large saloon and coupe automobiles produced from 1958 until 1973. It was a much larger car than the P4, which in some respects it replaced. The P5 was extremely popular with United Kingdom Prime Ministers and government officials of its day. Queen Elizabeth II is said to have favoured driving her P5.
For over 15 years, the Rover was the official transport of the establishment. With a portly, dignity and polished patriotism, it became the perfect motoring embodiment of Governmental Grandeur which is why every UK Prime Minister from Howard Wilson to Margaret Thatcher where chauffeured round in a Rover.
This low mileage car is in STUNNING CONDITION having been very well cared for all its life. It would be hard to see or find another example like it. It has done 72412 miles from new and has had six long term, caring owners on record. The first owner owned for twelve years. The second owner owned for eighteen years. Four more owners followed till this day.
This car has been maintained regardless of cost and there is no rust anywhere in the car – whatsoever.
Paintwork is still like new. All the rubbers, trims, external trim are new or like new in very good order.
The interior is entirely original and in EXCELLENT condition throughout. The mechanics are perfect, it doesn't use oil, water or drip any fluids.
This classic car is being presented in IMMACULATE order. Its hard to fault and drives incredibly well. Most definitely one of the finest P5's in the country.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
