1960 Rover P4 100 Overdrive SOLD SOLD

A lovely car in very good condition and driving well. Owned since 2013 but now selling due to loss of garage. Used regularly and serviced annually with over 6000 miles driven and £3400 spent during the past five years of ownership. Now in ideal shape for a summer of classic motoring.

Underwent what looks to be a complete nut & bolt restoration about twenty years ago. Current mileage indicated as 41600 miles, presumably since restoration. Exterior paint and body in very good condition, with good chrome, doors hanging true and car riding at correct height on four Avon Crossply tyres (bought during my ownership) with ACE chrome ‘Rimbellishers’. Period-style tow bar professionally fitted so ideal for classic caravanning.

104bhp six cylinder 2600cc engine with overdrive. Mechanically very good, running reliably and smoothly following carburettor rebuild 2016.

Interior in good condition with mostly original leather (some splits to driver’s seat back and damage to fabric seat valances) and older but good carpets. Woodwork, headlining, door cards, Furflex and rubber door seals in excellent condition. Fitted period ‘Motorola’ radio with original speaker.

Original buff Log Book with green Continuation Book. First owner Sir Thomas Padmore, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Transport from 1962-1968 and champion of the building of Britain’s new motorway system. His portrait is in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Overall, the car is in very good, reliable, useable condition, realistically priced and a really comfortable and enjoyable car to drive on a short or long journey, with that evocative classic car leather and wood smell and sufficient power to keep up with modern traffic on ‘A’ roads or motorways.
