Description
Elegance in black and red;
Britain’s first step into modern motoring; showing 17,413
miles
Finished in dignified black with rich red leather interior,
this Rover P3 60 embodies the cautious optimism of late-1940s
Britain. Powered by Rover’s
1,595cc four-cylinder
engine, the P3 was the company’s
first truly modern saloon, introduced as ration books lingered but peace brought
new horizons.
Its independent front suspension and refined cabin
signalled a shift from austerity to comfort, while the upright styling reflected
Rover’s
reputation for solid engineering. First of the P-series,
the P3 bridged tradition and progress, offering dependable motoring for
professionals and families alike. This 1949 example remains a rare survivor of
Britain’s post-war
motoring renaissance.
First registered November 1949, showing 17,413
miles and only four previous keepers on the V5C, with a detailed and well laid
out history file including a buff
& green logbook, 19 old MOT certificates, handbook and wiring
diagram.
Has been running on site as can be seen in the
video.
