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.

1962 AC GREYHOUND BRISTOL

Registration no. 240 YPJ

Chassis no. BEF2566

*Restored by specialist 20 years ago and re-painted this year

*Bristol engine rebuilt

*Extensive history

Odometer Reading: 61,000

MOT Expiry: 21/08/2020

While the pre-Cobra AC Ace remains overshadowed by its more powerful successor, another AC – one from the same period with true grand touring capabilities – also brought together two great British car-making names in one attractive package. Step forward the AC Greyhound, whose manufacturer looked to Bristol to supply engines. The result was a rapid, well-engineered not to say good-looking offering. Restored around 20 years ago by noted Bristol specialist Spencer Lane-Jones (over 570 hours!), this UK-supplied Greyhound has a comprehensive history and has received much attention more recently. It is fitted with the Bristol 2.2-litre inline six, the engine which experts say best suits the Greyhound's character, and is coupled to a Bristol (overdrive) gearbox. Following on from the restoration, more recently (2019) it has been re-painted in Aston Martin Dunhill Silver, a shade that complements the body's lines, while the lack of bumpers lends a more purposeful air and evoking images of when these models were used in rallies. Ideally suiting the silver bodywork is a red interior, which is in wonderfully, lightly patinated order with no signs of modification, and remains eminently usable. At the wooden dashboard is especially appealing with its full complement of instruments, below which sits a period radio. At the heart of any Greyhound is the engine, and this car was re-built to almost 100S specification (which translates into around 125bhp) and is said to be very good. Running gear too is in good order, other than the brakes which could benefit from some attention. Adding to this car's appeal is its immense history, which runs to two box files and includes the original 1960 buff logbook, as well as photographs and notes taken during the restoration work.
