AI Listing Summary
This 1971 Rover 3.5 Litre, with a 3531cc engine and 78,908 miles, is estimated at £7,000 - £8,000. It features a stainless steel exhaust and bumpers, and was formerly the Rover P5 owners' club car, but its 'good usable classic' descriptor indicates that reconditioning work will likely be needed.

Condition

The car is described as a "Good usable classic", suggesting moderate wear. The presence of a stainless steel exhaust and bumpers is a plus, but the car likely requires some reconditioning to address the wear and tear expected for a vehicle of this age.
