1969 Rover P5B

A COVID purchase the Burnt Grey P5B we have here was a super example in its' own right, and yet the previous owner really wanted something with the style of the P5B but with modern road manners

So after the purchase ( £ 25.000 to buy her by the way, she was that good as a basis for this plan of his ) his team embarked on this task

Updated 4.6 litre V8 engine

Rebuild cerburrettors

Alluminium radiator with electric fan

Uprated suspension

Rebuild axle (we did this)

All wheel disc brakes

Alloy wheels in the style of the original Rostyle wheels

205 / 60 R15 tyres

Modern stereo but looking old fashioned

New speakers

Over £ 50.000 was spent to ensure the car now has sufficient engine, handling and stopping power for today's traffic

The interior has been refurbished rather than re-trimmed, although the veneers have been re-polished and new carpets have been fitted

She is super lovely on the road, sits a bit lower than normal, handles delightfully and upon acceleration she really does lift her shirt tails !!!
