Although a marriage of expediency, the union between Rover's stately P5 model range and the ex-Buick 3528cc all-alloy OHV V8 engine resulted in an unexpectedly fine motorcar. Launched in 1967, the Rover P5B (or P5 Buick if you prefer) was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and Coupe guises - both of which employed four doors - the big Rover was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. Fitted with three-speed automatic transmission and power-assisted steering as standard, it proved a relaxing drive. Though, with some 161bhp and 210lbft of torque on tap, it also boasted a 115mph top speed. Well-appointed in the best Rover tradition, the P5B’s 'gentlemen's club' interior made it a firm favourite with businessmen, politicians (Harold Wilson's car was reputed to have a pipe rack in the back) and even HM The Queen who still owns her Arden Green Saloon.

Offered in its original shade of Silver Birch with contrasting Maroon leather upholstery, ‘TAN 452M’ is a home market example offered for sale showing just 77,599 miles on the odometer. Recently subject to a full engine overhaul and replacement exhaust, this particular example comes accompanied with an impressive history file containing its original Brown logbook, a number of original booklets including Rover service passport, maintenance manuals, a large collection of previous invoices, original P5B brochures and reading material, a Heritage Certificate and the V5C document which shows only 3 former keepers. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, paintwork, electrical equipment, transmission and interior trim all as ‘Good’.
