SUMMARY
On offer from its current enthusiast custodian with just over 67,000 miles indicated, this top of the range 3.5-litre P6 presents in fabulous condition.
DESCRIPTION
- Rover's flagship 3500S was launched in 1971 with a Buick-derived 3,528cc V8, generating 161bhp and offering 0-60 in nine seconds and a top speed of 123mph - impressive for 1971
- The 'S' in 3500S did not actually stand for Sport, it stood for Syncromesh which denoted this model’s change to a 4-speed manual gearbox
- Sporting the same matt black grille and improved interior as its lesser post-1970 facelift siblings, the 'S' featured a vinyl roof as standard
- This beautiful example has been with our vendor, the car’s third owner, for just over a year, but he has truly made it his own
- Changed from a rather sombre 1970s Mexico Brown to a crisp Rover White retaining the original 'Huntsman' brown vinyl roof and pillars
- The original Bronze Ambla interior is delightfully standard and one of the best we have ever seen and the car was never specified with a radio
- Recent work includes a new radiator, water pump, all new coolant hoses, all new exterior door seals and rubbers, new carpets, fresh fluids and filters, spark plugs, new tyres and much more
- We invite and encourage your viewing of this ‘collector level’ 3500S at the NEC in order to appreciate the quality on offer
