The comprehensive history file includes the original Rover 3500 & 3500 S Owner’s Manual, a Rover-Triumph Sales and Service Directory, and invoices totaling approximately £5,500 for servicing and other work. Over a period of years this Rover has been stripped down and rebuilt. The Vendor, in his short ownership, has made further improvements, including ensuring that all dashboard dials are functioning properly. In October 2023, the car was fitted with a brand new stainless steel exhaust system by Win International of West Sussex at a cost of £792.

The Model: The Rover P6 series, produced between 1963 and 1977, was offered with 2-litre, 2.2-litre and 3.5 litre engines (2000, 2200, 3500). This example is a 3500 S which houses the iconic 3.5-litre Rover V8 engine. This aluminum V8, originally from Buick, gave the P6 a significant edge over its contemporaries, notably the Triumph 2000. The 3500 S model, includes manual transmission, this example features the 5-speed as opposed to the 4-speed gearbox.
