Poor Mans Roller - Rover P5 Mark II 3 Litre
The P5 was Rovers top of the range saloon / sedan when it was introduced in 1958 .
Initially powered by a 115 hp, 2,995 cc / 182.8 cui straight six with the novel F head featuring an overhead intake valve and side exhaust valve as on the smaller motor used in the P4 series.
In 1962 the Mark II P5 was launched, as seen here, now with 129 hp, a quarter light front window and no glass wind deflectors atop the door windows.
The prototype P5 was fitted with 11 inch drum brakes all round however by the time the car was launched to the public disc brakes were fitted to the front wheels.
This was the vehicle of choice for a succession of British Prime Ministers and UK Government cabinet ministers and it is said Her Majesty the Queen of England preferred her Rover P5 as her daily driver.
When production ceased in 1965 15,676 Rover P5 Mrak II 3 litre saloons had been manufactured.
