1967 Rover P5B Coupé – Early Production, Exceptional Provenance
The Rover P5 series, produced from 1958 to 1973, was a flagship model for Rover and a favourite among British government ministers, including Prime Ministers. The P5B, introduced in 1967, featured the iconic 3.5-litre V8 engine sourced from Buick—hence the "B"—which gave the stately saloon a refined yet powerful performance edge.
A rare opportunity to own a true icon of British motoring. This 1967 Rover P5B Coupé is an exceptional early example—number 161 off the production line—finished in its original and elegant Arden Green over Silver Birch, complete with a factory-fitted steel sliding roof.
Inside, the cabin retains its original dark tan trim and carpets, offering an authentic and wonderfully period-correct atmosphere. Meticulously cared for by the same dedicated owner for over 22 years, this car stands out not only for its originality but also for its evident quality in every detail—from paintwork to interior and mechanical condition.
The vehicle comes with an extraordinary history file, including:
-
200+ invoices
-
MOT certificates dating back to the 1980s
-
Original buff log book, service book, and owner’s handbook
-
A comprehensive photographic record documenting its restoration and ongoing maintenance.
On the road, this P5B performs exactly as it should. The V8 engine pulls strongly, and the automatic gearbox shifts with impressive smoothness and precision. Whether you're taking it to a classic car show or enjoying a relaxed weekend drive, this car delivers a confident and rewarding driving experience.
This is not your average P5B. It’s a remarkably original, well-documented, and mechanically sound example—rarely seen in this condition and increasingly hard to find.
One of the finest Rover P5Bs available today. A genuine collector’s item.
