1968 Rover P5B Coupé | London

A 1968 Rover P5B Coupé, the lower-roofed version of Rover's large, formal P5 that kept its four doors. It is known for a quiet, dignified manner and its 3.5-litre aluminium V8, and the wider P5B range served as ministerial transport. This car is Admiraltu Blue, the roof is Silver Birch, and the leather inside is in the same shade. Fully restored and in excellent condition, it has the 3500cc V8 for a smooth, unhurried sound. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side, and the car gains a continental look. The low roofline and two-tone colour scheme suit period film and TV, fashion and editorial shoots, and advertising that wants late-1960s restraint. Photographers get a long, clean side profile to work with. It also makes a dignified wedding car. The car is based in London.
