Lot 412
This is a very, very impressive P5B and undoubtedly a 'Best of Breed'.In 1965, Rover's Managing Director, William Martin-Hurst, secured the tooling and production rights to the 3,528cc all-alloy OHV V8 '215' engine from Buick and, after a period of development, it was ready for use in Rover's model range. Although a marriage of expediency, the union between Rover's stately P5 and the ex-Buick V8 resulted in an unexpectedly fine motor car. The new aluminium V8 was significantly lighter and considerably more powerful than its predecessor, delivering 160bhp and a massive leap in torque to 210lb.ft. at 2,600rpm, vastly improving pace, comfort, balance, handling, economy and reliability.Launched in 1967, the Rover P5B (or P5 Buick if you prefer) was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and Coupé guises, both of which employed four doors, the big Rover was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. Fitted with three-speed automatic transmission and power-assisted steering as standard, it proved a relaxing drive although capable of a comfortable 115mph. The exterior was mostly unchanged, apart from bold '3.5-Litre' badging, a pair of fog lights which were added below the headlights, creating a striking four-light array and the fitting of chrome Rostyle wheels with black painted inserts. The svelte Coupé had a slightly lower roof-line, slimmer chromed window surrounds, twin-armchair rear seats and additional dashboard instruments, and is the most collectable variant today. Production lasted until 1973 by which time 11,501 Saloons and 9,099 Coupés had been built, however, survivors are thought to number in the hundreds.First seeing the light of day some 49 years ago in April 1973 and recently the subject of a rotisserie restoration to the very highest of standards, this outstanding P5B Coupé is finished in gleaming Bordeaux Red with a contrasting roof in Silver Birch and has to be one of the very best, if not ‘the’ best, available today. The 'Gentlemen's Club' interior is absolutely superb in light tan leather with mushroom carpets and burr walnut veneers and is the result of many hours of work by talented craftsmen.The accompanying worksheets and list of parts used is one of the most comprehensive on record with a detailed outlay amounting to in excess of £100,000! Tasked with bringing the Rover back to life, Trevor Farrington Ltd, Classic and Sports Car Specialist, has left no stone unturned resulting in this outstanding example that would satisfy the most pedantic. Every nut and bolt has received attention with the fit and finish being a true credit to the craftsmen and engineers that were tasked with this extensive rebuild. In period, these big coupés were head turners and were perceived to belong to comfortably off owners who appreciated quality and had a certain sense of style, and basically, nothing has changed. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the standard and quality of this incredible gentleman’s carriage.Please note that the cherished registration number shown, DPO 3L, does not form part of the sale.

Fabulous, 2nd-generation Interceptor with only 120 miles since a comprehensive restoration.Jensen's C-V8 replacement debuted in 1966 reviving a name first employed in the 1950s. However, several of the firm's traditions were broken in that the design was outsourced to Carrozzeria Touring and the bodies made of steel not glass fibre. Early shells were built in Italy, by Vignale, prior to production being established at Jensen's Kelvin Way plant in West Bromwich. Power came from a 6,276cc (383ci) Chrysler V8, driving through either a four-speed manual or three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission to an LSD Salisbury rear axle. Specification included electric windows, reclining seats, wood-rim steering wheel, radio with twin speakers, electric clock and reversing lights.Production of the Interceptor II (occasionally called the Mk.II or Series II) commenced in October 1969 and lasted for two years. This particular car has a chassis prefix, #123, so was one of 694 right-hand drive, UK cars powered by the E-Series 383ci V8 generating around 330 bhp. Pleasingly, it still wears its original registration number, HMK 6K, and from the history file we can see that it left the factory on 09/08/1971 finished in Silver Grey over Black Leather and optioned from new with Sundym Glass, Voxon Radio Cartridge Player, Air-con, and Town & Country Horns.The rebuild of this exquisite Jensen, undertaken by Kestrel Classic Cars of Redditch, Jensen Marque Specialists, commenced in 2013 but unfortunately stalled in late 2014 due to the owners ill health, with the Interceptor not seeing light of day for the next seven years until the time was right to finish the build. Superbly presented in Stratosphere Blue with a full Black Hide interior the ground up rebuild shows excellent attention to detail throughout setting this particular Series II at a level that few achieve. The detailed restoration has left no stone unturned including a complete bare-metal body refurbishment, an engine, gearbox and drivetrain rebuild by American V8 Specialist David Gilliver, a total rewire, re-chroming by Derby Plating, a full retrim - in hide of course, all finished to the very highest of levels. The car has been sensibly upgraded for modern day usage including uprated cooling, a high-torque starter, an alternator and a modern air conditioning system. With a mere 120 shake down miles completed, a period of further running-in is recommended to achieve the very best from this outstanding Grand Tourer. Having been undervalued for many years the Interceptor has recently seen somewhat of a resurgence with interest and demand for correctly restored examples increasing at a pace. Your earliest inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the lengths taken to return this elegant GT to the road.
