Rover P5B Coupe

The P5B was the final flowering of Rover's establishment favourite, gaining the ex-Buick aluminium V8 in 1967. This 1969 four-door Coupé, with its lower roofline and raked rear screen, has been taken well beyond factory specification.

In 2022 Kingsley Cars of Eynsham replaced the original 3.5-litre engine with a 4554cc High Torque V8 on twin SU HIF44 carburettors, producing roughly 220bhp and 330lb ft. The work, said to total over £58,000, also covered the cooling system, fuel system and exhaust, plus upgraded brakes, renewed suspension components, a new fuel tank and a recalibrated speedometer. It retains a three-speed automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive, and runs on Rostyle Magnum alloys.

It is finished in Burnt Grey with a Silver Birch roof over saddle leather, with a discreet Audison audio installation and DAB radio. The odometer reads 38,120 miles. Price is on application.
