First registered in 1968, this Rover P5 B Saloon was originally supplied by Henly’s Limited, London, to the editor of Headlight, the lorry driver's magazine, with the registration number JK 21
Following the editor’s passing, the car was placed in a heated garage in 1978, where it remained untouched until 2018.
That year, it was registered to his nephew, the original number plate was removed, and the 3.5-litre Buick-derived V8 engine underwent a comprehensive rebuild
The vehicle was then sold to its current owner, who has since carried out further restoration work, including the installation of a new gearbox, upgraded suspension, uprated radiator, stainless steel exhaust and new carpets throughout
