1962 Rover P5 3 Litre Saloon
Estimated at £3,000 - £4,000
Lot details
Registration No: 707 PNN
Chassis No: 72501341A
Mot Expiry: March 2002
Rover produced some wonderful cars over the years but none more stately and refined than the P5 3 Litre and, because of their legendary reliability, they were used to travel, not only all over the country, but all over Europe as well.
This particular rare manual six-cylinder version has been beautifully repaired for historic rallying and is an exact copy of the Works rally cars. The chassis has been strengthened, as has the suspension and there is an extra fuel tank fitted. It successfully completed the first Monte Carlo Challenge and finished in the top twenty overall. It has also competed in many other rallies and has not failed to finish and is ready to go complete with a huge history file including the results of its various escapades and its Heritage Certificate.
It is currently tested until March next year and is one of the cars that John will be most reluctant to leave behind.
