The Rover P4 series are luxury saloon cars produced by Rover from 1949 until 1964. They were designed by Gordon Bashford. Production began in 1949 with the 6 cylinder 2.1 litre Rover 75. Four years later a 2 litre 4 cylinder Rover 60 was brought to the market to fit below the 75 and a 2.6 litre 6 cylinder Rover 90 to top the three car range. Several variations followed. These cars are very much part of British culture and became known as the 'Auntie' Rovers. The P4 Series stayed in production until 1964 and their replacement by the Rover 2000.
The Rover was 100 introduced on 24 October 1959. Its new but similar 2.6 litres straight-6 engine was a short-stroke version of the P5 3-Litre unit, and could reach 100 mph. The interior was luxurious, with wood and leather accents on traditional English car elements like a curved right hand handbrake. A bench front seat or individual front seats could be ordered. A heater was a standard fitting. The 100 was fitted with servo-assisted Girling disc brakes at the front, keeping drum brakes at the rear. Overdrive, on top gear only, was a standard fitting. Production ended in 1962, by which time 16,521 examples had been produced.
This example is a 1962 Rover 100 P4 2.6 litre straight six, with only 75,000 recorded miles, in Ivory and a Burgundy leather interior. This car is described as being in totally outstanding condition, and is said to require very little to make it a concours car. The car comes with lots of its original documentation, service book, handbook, brochures and repair invoices. The car was delivered new to Northern Rhodesia where it had one owner until 2015. The car has all its tools present, and there are quite a few spare parts that come with the car, and period badges are present. The car has never had a radio fitted, and the leather was fully refurbished and treated in 2015. The car is said to look like new.
