For sale sign

 

1960 Rover 100. A very reluctant sale in a beautiful white and red colour combination by its current owner of 25 years. It would make a great wedding car. Only 2 previous owners. 12 months MOT as of the 09/04/2025. The car was recently recommissioned after being dry stored for 15 years - check the mot history vs mileage for proof. It’s just come out of a bodyshop to have two areas of corrosion on the body sorted out, which didn’t affect the mot because they were not remotely structural. The chassis is very clean and unmolested as is the rest of the body.

Recommissioning work carried out:

Old fuel drained and flushed.
Engine oil and filter changed.
Gearbox and diff oil change.
Two new old stock front tyres fitted.
Two new old stock tyres supplied for the rear.
Brakes freed off and the car rolls freely.
The king pins were still full of oil.
The steering box was still full up.

The engine is silky smooth with zero smoke or rattles. You can barely hear it running when at idle speed. It’s like it just rolled off the production line! And the overdrive works on demand. The interior in general is in good shape, with no repairs to the roof lining, it’s never been painted and is 100% original. The leather has had a good going over with Neatsfoot oil to bring it back to practical life, as advised by the Rover P4 Guid Facebook Group.

The chrome work and body is pretty good as per the pictures. She’s literally had a bucket wash and the chrome buffed up by hand taking about an hour in total. The carpets haven’t even been vacuumed. This is almost literally how it was stored 15 years ago, so will come up even better with a bit of elbow grease… which is utter testimony to its previous and current owners.

This Rover P4 is literally a turn key classic that starts on the button every time. She passed the MOT (the first time), then we took her out on 5 separate town trips in London traffic totalling 36 miles and the car didn’t miss a beat. Now it’s been driven to the bodyshop and back totalling 93 miles I have great confidence this Rover P4 will be a wonderful turn key classic for the next owner that wants to take it to the next level. I will continue driving her on dry days for the sheer fun of it all until she sells.

Please note: This Rover P4 100 is not a concourse example and wants the next owner to take it to new levels, but is in remarkable condition for its age. It has taken minimal effort to get it road worthy and back to the condition it was in 15 years ago. The current owner would like the vehicle to go to someone with a dry garage or storage facility. Ideally a Rover enthusiast that can take the car to the next level condition wise. The vehicle is situated in Charlton, London, SE7. The car is available for £7,500 ono. Please contact Nathan on 07739 577774 for further information.

1962 100 88,280 miles. I bought the car in November 2023 as a project but have now lost my storage and it is now kept outside undercover. It drives, stops, starts and was in daily use up until the bad weather set in at the tail end of last year. I have spent a considerable amount of money on it in order to use it daily. Some of the things I have done are, a new Lockheed brake servo, new stainless-steel pistons and seals in the brake callipers, new discs and pads. There are new rear wheel cylinders. However, there is still room for improvement on the brakes. New distributor, plus electronic ignition, new ignition coil, engine runs lovely. Also new overdrive solenoid so the gear box now operates as it should. Carburettor service and new float, all receipts for proof that everything was purchased from the respected suppliers of Rover parts, J Wearing & J R Wadham. Lots of other bits and pieces including service kit and 4 x new tyres fitted prior to me buying the vehicle from previous owner. The previous owner informed me that when he purchased the car the previous owner to him had had the water pump rebuilt. It is not the best car out there, however you can either use it as is or take on to the next level. Unfortunately, I cannot do this due to health issues. The vehicle looks better than it is from a distance due to someone giving it a not very good respray. Bought as a project. A comfortable drive which turns heads when driving around. Location is CF38 South Wales. Asking price is £2,499. Contact Kevin on 07850 873541 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

1962 110. 62,000 miles and low ownership. A rare aluminium bodied car in wonderful condition throughout. This is a very attractive p4 110 with the original lovely registration number which features 3 letters and 3 numbers. The chromework is very good. The interior is original & beautiful and is a pleasure to be in. This Rover has had many thousands of pounds spent recently to keep in very good condition, a full service, rebuilt braking system, hydraulics overhaul, carburettor overhaul, electrical systems overhaul and an extensive underside waxoyling. The overall structure is excellent with no corrosion, it really is wonderful underneath. The Rover has relatively new tyres, rear springs, shock absorbers and a stainless steel exhaust system. The driving experience is superb, it is very quiet with an exemplary smooth ride, the engine and transmission etc is also very smooth and quiet. This Rover is one of the best P4s I have ever driven, it has been cherished all its life and this is reflected in the "on road" driving experience, it drives as an excellent P4 should. It is much admired wherever it goes and will drive anywhere. £12,500 ono. Part of my Rover collection being reluctantly sold. Please call 07446-881808 or 0115-9521218 or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for futher details.
