This 1948 Rover P2 was purchased by a retired mechanic in 2016, in order to keep himself occupied.

After a full mechanical assessment, much work was carried out including an engine service, new clutch, reconditioned gearbox, brakes and suspension, among other items.

The car was registered in January 1948 and is showing 74,600 miles on its odometer.

Its last MoT expired in February 2017 after having been tested the previous year at an indicated 74,115 miles.

However, as an historic vehicle, the Rover no longer requires annual testing.

The P2 runs and drives.

Paperwork includes the V5C, 1970s' green logbook, freewheel transmission information, assorted club magazines, parts catalogue, invoices and other paperwork.

There's also a box of spare parts.
