Current V5 present. Paperwork includes Owner's Handbooks, a Service passport containing 1 written entry, printed photographs of the vehicle, old tax discs, MOT certificates, and invoices.

The vendor has provided the following:

  • 1973 Rover P6 3500 S for sale
  • In good condition with a recent clean MOT
  • Acquired by the current owner in 2006 and well cared for and garaged for the last 20 years
  • Any work to the car during my tenure has been done by P6 Guru Clive Annable, including replacing ball joints, radiator hoses, link bushes, brake hoses, exhaust centre box and stainless steel rear exhaust box
  • Sympathetic, sensible modern improvements to the car include an electric fan and inertial reel seat belts
  • Attractive boot-mounted spare wheel and cover fitted with boot stay
  • 4 new Vredestein Sprint Classic tyres fitted in 2021 that have done less than 1000 miles
  • Nice interior with cream buckskin leather seats, clean headlining and carpets
  • Starts and runs reliably; although it hasn’t done many miles recently, it has been regularly started
  • Solid chassis (underbody sealed by a previous owner) and just a few small paintwork blemishes and minor dents to body panels
  • Original manual gearbox and desirable 3.5 litre V8 that burbles as it should
  • Genuine reason for sale - busy family life has meant I’ve not been able to use the car in the last few years as much as I would have liked, and I now need the garage space, so it is time to pass this lovely vehicle on to its next owner for them to enjoy
