1962 ROVER P4 100
Registration No: 556 AVJ
Chassis No: 75002333B
Engine No: 75000839B
Estimate: £4,000 - £5,000


Charming and regularly used example of this 60's six-cylinder British saloon; lovely blue leather interior; 4-speed with O/D; completed the Tour De Normandy in 2018
Declared manufactured in 1962, it looks like this tidy old P4 100 was imported into Britain in 1978 and has had six owners since then. Our vendor acquired the car in January 2012 and has enjoyed using the car during the summer months, doing a few weddings for friends and family in this time.
The car is finished in Old English White, Experian recording a colour change from grey to white in January of 2012. The interior has that wonderful ‘old car’ smell emanating from its beautifully patinated blue leather combined with the fine thin-rimmed steering wheel, wooden dash and ‘R’ monikered foot pedals.
The car shows 74, 830 miles and started first turn of the key at the time of our visit, the big old six pot humming away quietly. Transmission is through a four-speed manual gearbox with O/D.
The bodywork looks to be in sound order with some localised remediation carried out by our vendor during his tenure, including repairs to the inner rear wheel arches, fitment of a new brake servo, pads and master cylinder plus a pair of reconditioned front brake callipers and fuel pump too.
He has taken the car abroad to Northern France on a number of occasions without issue, the car recently completing the Tour Du Normandy in 2018 during which time it won a prize as well as attending the Retro Festival in Caen in 2017.
It is being sold with a workshop manual, V5C, a sheaf of bills and 10 old MOTs plus its recent MOT which runs until January 2021 showing only two minor advisories.
