This beautiful Rover P4 comes from 1961 and is of type 100.This model has the 6 cylinder 2.6 litre head/side valve engine which is known for the quiet and low idle run. The combination of a single "SU" carburettor, "SU" electric fuel pump and Lucas distributor applied with many other brands and models and proved to be a reliable combination. A well-tuned 6 cylinder engine is known for its fast start. This car is perfect; by turning the ignition key the engine starts right away.The interior is luxurious, with real leather, wooden dashboard and door panels, chrome edges around the counters, also the standing, curved "Shepherds Crook" handbrake is typical and practical at the same time. The also chrome, curved shifter serves a 4 speed transmission with an overdrive, that makes it possible with a much lower engine speed to drive at a "modern", higher cruise speed and all that by the simple operation of a small small lever on the steering column. This is a right-hand driven car (RHD).The smell of the interior is reminiscent of the 1960s; This typical smell is associated with such a carOn the outside the beautiful chrome work stands out; the chrome work is expertly chrome plated again.The black paint is very nice quality; nowhere polished through or "Crackle". On a backdrop is a rust vesicle at the height of a trim clip. This P4 100 has been in the possession of a Dutch automobile and motorcycle collector for years and as such is very well taken care of; It is, however, hardly driven.

The car is originally equipped with front disc brakes combined with a brake booster which is also modified.The car has new Vredestein classic car tires in the size 185/15. Also, the car has been skillfully fully conserved by a Dinitrol station.This P4 will be delivered with a fresh Dutch Periodic Vehicle Inspection, however, on 1 May 2018 it will be exempt from this inspection!The Rover is ready to use and is one of the most original and well riding P4 models we have driven and evaluated.
