Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1970 Rover P5B Coupe is a desirable classic car with a recent restoration. It features a 3.5-liter V8 engine, automatic gearbox, and a luxurious tan leather interior, making it a very attractive example for collectors, especially considering the relatively low mileage.
Condition

The car is described as being in very good condition overall. The exterior has minor imperfections like touched-up stone chips, minor scuffs, a couple of paint runs, small paint cracks on the rear wings, and minor bubbling on the bottoms of a couple of doors. The interior is in impressive condition, commensurate with a costly restoration. The underside appears to be free from welding or patching, which is rare for a car of this age.

The previous keeper (2016 – 2020) undertook a full restoration of what was at that stage a tatty but sensible mileage example.
Around £9,000 was reportedly spent bringing the Coupe back up to standard, with over half of that being lavished on the sublime and luxurious cabin.
Our current owner, acquired the Rover in 2020 as the highest bidder in one of our own online auctions.
At that stage the P5B had covered around 99,000 miles with our seller having only added around 1,000 miles to that sensible t...
