Rover P5 (3-Litre/3.5-Litre) 3.0 Litre MK2 Swiss car, highly original condition! 1966
General description :
We have a wonderful Rover 3 liter Mark 2 for sale. Also know as the P5 Coupe it was the preferred mode of transport for many British leaders and dignitaries in the 60`s and early 70`s. This particular car was supplied in Switzerland in April 1966. After being sold and exported to Germany on the 26th June 1992, it found its way to its 3rd and last owner in the Netherlands in early 1999. He has kept the car in impeccable condition for the last 19 years. All maintenance documentation has been carefully preserved. The cost of maintenance was never a major consideration and so many thousands of euros were spent to keep the car in excellent condition. In 2015 the gearbox, clutch, pressure plate and associated issues were replaced. The neat bodywork is straight with correctly fitting body panels. The underbody is rust-free and more or less original. It has the 3.0 straight-6 IOE engine with a manual transmission. Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!
