Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1972 Rover P6 3500s boasts a recently restored body with a respray and significant welding, plus a tuned V8 engine and a desirable five-speed gearbox. While mechanically enhanced and described as running well, the interior requires further attention, presenting an opportunity for the next owner to personalize this classic.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in good to average condition. While it has undergone extensive restoration work, including a respray and welding, the interior would benefit from improvement, and it is considered an ongoing project. The extensive upgrades and recent MOT with no advisories suggest a solid foundation, but the need for interior enhancement and its classification as a project place it in the 'Good' category.

Description
First registered in the UK on 1st February 1972, this Rover P6 3500S is finished in red with a black interior.
The vendor describes the car's overall condition as good to average, and it remains an appealing example of Rover's iconic sporting saloon.
The car has had 10 former keepers, with the current owner having enjoyed it for the last two years.
Notably, the engine was tuned by former racing mechanic Tom Airey, who also directed the fitting of a higher-capacity oil pump to enhance reliability and performance.
Described as running and driving, the Rover would make an ideal usable classic and ongoing project.
The interior would benefit from some improvement, providing the next owner with an opportunity to further enhance the car.
The current owner advises that a substantial amount has been invested in the vehicle during the past ten years of ownership, with all of the work and parts listed having been completed within the last few years and in previous months.
