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.
This car has had 7 owners, and comes with the original Passport Service Book stamped up until a mileage of 61,083 in September 1988. There is also a large bundle of specialist service and maintenance invoices. 5 speed SD1 gearbox fitted, and also it has the optional Power Steering fitted, and the original wheel trims are fitted. It is in good overall condition, but will require a little tidying.
