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, chassis 74000965C was first registered on the 10th of August 1964, to the first owner, Maurice Langridge of Brentwood, Essex, before passing into the ownership (not stamped on the RF60) of a Raymond Langridge, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, at an unknown date, but likely within the same family.
Currently Southern Ireland registered the Rover's previous UK registration number was 'EWC 443B' which will hopefully be re-issued. A service book with the following entries: Eastern Automobiles of Chelmsford at 1,166 miles on 8.10.1964; at 3,033 on 16.3.65; at 6,597 on 20.10.65; at 9,363 on 19.9.66; at 11,737 on 20.6.67 and with JD Vehicle Services, Middlesex at 16,659 on 18.4.00; 19,101 at 19.5.05. 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 Owner’s Instruction Manual and the old buff logbook and Eire/Ireland Registration Document. A spare set of tyres, interior woodwork, factory spot lamps plus spares are included in the sale and a new exhaust has been fitted.
