SUMMARY
An excellent example of Rover's elegant, 3.5-litre, Buick-engined coupé that benefits from a recent bodywork restoration.
DESCRIPTION
- Superbly presented in Bordeaux Red with unmarked Rostyle wheels over a classic Rover 'Gentlemen's Club' interior in cream leather
- Restored over a two-year period with the emphasis particularly on the bodywork
- The car was totally stripped and had new inner wings, inner and outer sills, front wing trailing edges, rear wing trim tops, rear wing trim bottoms, both front 'A-posts', both rear jacking tubes, and the original doors and wings were refitted
- All the restoration works were undertaken by specialists, GT Auto Classics of Brentwood, with the final invoice totalling £15,000
- To complete the process, all the rubbers were replaced, the wheels were refurbished and a complete set of Furflex inner door seals were fitted
- The car is supplied with a decent history file which includes its Heritage Trust Certificate
- In-period, these big coupés were head-turners and were perceived to belong to 'comfortably off' owners who appreciated quality and had a certain sense of style and basically, nothing has changed
