1970 Rover P6 3500 3500S *** UK REGISTERED *** For Sale

1970 Rover 3500S Automatic. (NADA)

NOW UK REGISTERED


This car Starts drives and stops
The original passport (service history book) is with the car and has a few stamps in there, unfortunately there is not a great deal of history with the car but from what i can make out and have been told it started life and was bought new from Leyland Motors New Jersey by a dealer in New York still has the original dealer sticker on the boot lid! It was then sold onto someone that was in the air force but remained in New York then went to live a new life in Connecticut so has never really moved far from the dealership until 2015 where it was then shipped to the UK.

Car is finished in Arden Green with contrasting Sandalwood ambla upholstery.
Low mileage at just 59k
This car is still wearing most of its original paintwork and still shines up really well but obviously has marks and blemishes some may call this patina
I cannot stress enough how original this car is, everything still works including all 4 electric windows all the lights and side markers. Even the clock and cigar lighter is working!
The car is currently fitted with a replacement engine sourced from another low mileage P6. This engine runs extremely well and smoothly but would benefit from a tune up if i'm being really critical.
Original engine comes with the car (albeit stripped) the block has been stripped aqua blasted repainted crank has been reground and balanced so as the original engine is concerned the block is as new and put back together just requires heads putting back on cam ect so car could easily be returned to a matching numbers vehicle.
Car drives well but rear brakes require attention.
I seriously doubt you will find a more original/ unrestored 3500S automatic anywhere as good as this one, interior is outstanding and with a sympathetic respray it would take it to a whole new level.
Car is an early NADA and was built in August 1969 and is a Non Aircon (been told that its quite rare) car other than that it has all American spec. equipment such as map pockets in front doors, upholstered centre console, icealert system, wrap around bumpers, halogen headlights, orange sidelights, side marker lights, internal crash protection bars in the doors and boot mounted spare wheel.
This car is rust free, shows no signs of welding or needing any welding at all.
I deliberated about respraying the car and inner wings but I believe that would detract and obviously loose forever how original this car is.

During the registration of the car I got bored and set about cleaning up the engine bay only to find a slight leak on the water pump so the car new has a brand new water pump with both top and bottom radiator hoses.

The only thing cosmetically that is not original about the car is the dealer sticker on the boot lid, air force sticker in the rear window and a parking permit sticker from New York in 1986!!! Never wanted to remove these as its part of the cars history.

This car has most probably been through times square a few times how cool is that!!

Car is in a well lit garage so viewing is no problem.
Also any pictures you want please don't hesitate to contact me and as for any specific pictures as i have many pictures of the car and can also get pictures of the underside ect if needs be.

I am open to REALISTIC offers and have the right to end the auction early as the car is listed for sale elsewhere.
