Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1959 Rover P4, with a 2230cc engine, gained fame through appearances in 'Grantchester' and 'Pennyworth.' Initially registered abroad, it came to the UK in 1981 and has had five previous owners. The vehicle's history is well-documented with original paperwork, though the last MOT expired in 2021.

The car has a detailed history, including its use in TV series, which adds to its appeal. The inclusion of original documents like the buff logbook and a collection of MOT certificates and tax discs provide a comprehensive history. However, the expired MOT and the need for potential minor reconditioning due to its age suggest that it's not in perfect condition.
