MoT Expiry: Exempt
*Refined six-cylinder motoring
*Good colour combination
*Some history
Offering levels of refinement generally found in more expensive cars, the P4 Rover was a triumph of engineering aesthetics although it was looking dated at the end of its long production run. This estate sale 75 is in good order inside and out, the green bodywork shrugging off the decades and the red interior a relaxing, well-considered way in which to travel. The Rover does run and drive, but due to being in store for some time would benefit from a service before seeing active use again.
