Eyrewell Forest Motor Company are pleased to bring to market this beautifully presented semi restored Rover P5B.
Powered by the super reliable 3.5 Litre V8 also shared with the early Range Rovers this car has plenty of power and sounds great at both idle and cruise speed. The P5B having the larger engine option over its contemporary P5 with the lessor powered 3.0 Litre Straight six engine. The B in the name refers to Buick who supplied the lightweight aluminium engine which produces 120hp. The Borg Warner Type-35 automatic transmission provides smooth shifts through all ranges of power delivery.
Fitted with power steering this car is a pleasure to drive, the independent suspension at the front uses wishbones and torsion bars and at the rear has a live axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs. A ride smooth enough to prompt Margaret Thatcher to nominate one of these luxury sedans as her prime ministerial car during her time in office.
Rostyle wheels with black painted inserts set this 4 door coupe apart from the standard saloon.
This example is NZ new and was owned for 15 years by he first owner. Current owner has lovingly cared for the car for the past 39 years. A box full of paperwork including workshops manual, handbooks, parts catalogue, invoices and service history complete the package.
Tow bar fitted to add to the practicality.
Freshly serviced with new WOF and Rego this car is ready for a new home.
