1951 ROVER 75 P4 SPORTS SALOON.FULLY ROAD WORTHY For Sale

I am offering for sale my rare and beautiful 75 Cyclops. Structurally, bodily, mechanically and the interior all probably deserve about nine out of ten.
I use it regularly when it's dry because it it is so good to drive. It benefits from the installation of a much sturdier front anti-roll bar, which combined with the rebuilt kingpins and all suspension and bushes, makes the steering much more precise, straight and true, with barely perceptible wander, which is unusual for P4's of this age. It has electronic ignition and a 3. 9 ratio differential installed, giving excellent motorway cruising and returning around 30 mpg, which I think is very good for a vehicle of this size and era.
Mechanically overhauled about 3000 miles ago. Engine, clutch, rear axle etc with everything performing well. The front brakes are upgraded with high friction shoes, which give excellent braking
The interior roof lining, door cards, seats and carpets are original and in good condition with patina.
Fitted with five almost new matching mid priced tyres and a recently new battery. Converted to negative earth. Modern radio fitted in central glovebox with good twin speakers mounted discretely in the front footwell scuttles.
Any purchaser would be able to drive it home with confidence, in my honest opinion. Though there will always be little things to fettle, it is a really well sorted car.
I have very much enjoyed my stewardship of this lovely honest example. I hope that it will be wanted and looked after like it has been by myself and previous keepers, who have been members or officers of the P4 Drivers Guild. Please email for queries, viewings . Thanks for looking.
