The Rover 3500 was introduced in April 1968, and continued to be offered until 1977. Rover said that the light metal V8 engine weighed the same as their four-cylinder unit. The more powerful car's maximum speed of 114 mph as well as its 10.5-second acceleration time from 0–60 mph were considered impressive.
It was necessary to modify the under-bonnet space to squeeze the V8 engine into the P6 engine bay, the front suspension cross-member had to be relocated forward, while a more visible change was an extra air intake beneath the front bumper to accommodate the larger radiator. A 3-speed Borg Warner 35 automatic was the only transmission, until the 1971 addition of a four-speed manual 3500S model, fitted with a modified version of the gearbox used in the 2000/2200. The 3500S was noticeably quicker than the automatic version of this car with a 0-60 mph time of 9 seconds, compared with 10.1 for the automatic car.

According to our vendor, this lovely Rover 3500S has just been imported from a hot climate country, and so is a rust free example, which runs and drives and looks great. It has a lovely black interior which is in great condition.

The first owner was based over overseas in Singapore where it had little use, and the second owner was a Doctor. A true British classic from the 70’s, with a V8 engine and manual 4 speed gearbox, which sounds great.

Comes with Nova paper work and recent MOT with no advisories.
