Description Britain’s dependable saloon of the 1950s; showing 44,237 miles First registered in October 1953, this Rover P4 75 is in dignified green with just 44,237 miles recorded.
Powered by Rover’s smooth 2,103cc straight-six, it epitomised the optimism of early-1950s Britain, when ration books were fading and motoring symbolised freedom.
Nicknamed the “Auntie Rover,” the P4 blended reassuring solidity with understated luxury, its wood-and-leather cabin a haven of refinement.
The distinctive stately lines made it a familiar sight outside country houses and city clubs alike.
A charming survivor, this example captures the tweed-jacket era of British motoring, where reliability met quiet sophistication.
The paperwork includes the current V5C registered as historic as does its taxation class.
Driven 50 miles to the sale and has been running nicely for the pictures and video.
