The vendor has provided the following:

• The family have flown over from Taiwan especially to watch the auction. Anything over £27,000 will be donated to Prostate Cancer.
• This car may be well known to some members of the Rover P5/P5B community
• Before we bought it, it had been lovingly cared for by the same owner for 38 years
• It then went through auction at Mathewsons last year, and I purchased it shortly after for my father in Harrogate
• Since then, the car has been professionally dry stored in Harrogate and well maintained
• Sadly, my father has recently passed away
• As I live in Taiwan, much as I would love to keep the car, the reality of professional dry storage costs and the limited opportunities I would have to enjoy it properly mean that it is no longer practical for me to do so
• When we took ownership, the only work required was attention to the carburettors
• This has now been done professionally, including replacement needles and jets, balancing, and associated work
• We have also had the fuel hoses under the bonnet attended to
• The car comes with a substantial history file, which we have organised into a binder
• Notable previous work includes a new transmission and torque converter around 2,000 miles ago, a comprehensive repaint, and a wonderful buckskin refurbishment
• It is not a concours car, but it is a splendid example and one that deserves to be driven and enjoyed
