The Rover P6 will always be remembered for effectively creating the 2-litre executive car class in the UK. The Rover ushered in a new order. The P6 was something of a new order for its maker, too, one that owed as much to the Citroen DS as it did to its safe-as-houses predecessor, the 'Auntie' Rover P4. Under the skin, it boasted a new skeleton structure, with bolt-on body panels, and daring styling that shook Rover's existing clientele to the core. The risk was rewarded with strong sales during a 14-year production run. The company gambled that it would appeal to conservative Rover customers as well as attracting new ones, and the plan worked handsomely. It set new standards for performance, ride and handling, and ended up winning the 1964 Car of The Year award for its maker. But Rover didn't sit on its laurels, constantly updating the P6 throughout its lifetime. Twin-carburettors were added for more power, and then a 2.2-litre version was introduced for more power, torque, and surprisingly efficiency. But the best was saved for last, when in 1968, the ex-Buick 3528-cc V8 made its way from the P5 and into the P6. Overnight, a British icon was created, and Rover’s first Q-car, offering Jaguar-matching pace, went on sale. The Rover P6B caught on quickly, selling in relatively large numbers, and becoming a favourite with police forces across the UK. The Rover P6B was initially offered only in automatic form, but in 1971, that wrong was righted with the launch of the 3500S, which featured a four-speed gearbox. The P6 remained this way with minor tweaks until it bowed out gracefully in 1977, having sold 322,302 copies. Very affordable entry level classic car, classic insurance, economical to run with inexpensive maintenance costs. All parts are readily available for ongoing care and maintenance.

She’s just approaching her 50th birthday, so there may be imperfections, blemishes & age related wear & tear in there somewhere, even if not apparent on first viewing.
