1959 Rover P5B Coupé | Woking, Surrey

The Rover P5 is a large British luxury car, liked for its formal, unhurried manner and a cabin that feels like a smaller Rolls-Royce. It was Rover's first car with unitary bodywork, and later cars in the line carried senior government figures. This car is Green outside and Green inside, a single deep shade with chrome trim to catch the light. The coupè roofline sits lower than the saloon's, which gives it a sleeker, more purposeful profile. Its 3000cc engine is smooth and strong low down, and the condition is very good. The colour-matched palette gives fashion and editorial shoots a rich, uniform backdrop. Its 1950s British luxury shape suits period film and television, and the long, chrome-trimmed body reads well in advertising and music video work. A wedding arrival gets the same quiet formality. The car is based in Woking, Surrey.
