1972 Rover P5B Saloon | London

A 1972 Rover P5B Saloon, the V8-powered final form of Rover's large, formal four-door. It was a favoured official car, and four British prime ministers were driven in P5Bs during the model's years in government service. This car is black with a brown interior and polished wood in the cabin, which seats four. It served in the Government Car Service in the 1970s, one of 44 P5Bs used that way, carrying ministers around Westminster and Downing Street. Its 3500cc V8 gives a smooth, even note, and the car is in good condition. Its upright, formal lines and black paintwork suit period dramas, political thrillers and crime stories, where an official car sets the tone at once. The wood-trimmed cabin gives photographers and fashion and editorial teams a stately backdrop, and events a measured, formal arrival. It also makes a dignified wedding or personal-hire car. The car is based in London.
