On the Surface:

Presented in an attractive two-tone Green over matching leather upholstery, this 1961 Rover P4 100 is a good, original-feel example of Rover’s well-regarded mid-size luxury saloon.

Maintenance & History:

Registered in 1961, this Rover P4 100 has been in the care of its current registered keeper for the last two years. The car is accompanied by a useful history file that includes a selection of old MOT certificates, maintenance invoices and a Rover P4 workshop manual.

The Model:

The Rover P4 series was produced from 1949 to 1964, with the 100 variant introduced in 1959 as a replacement for the 90 and 105. Designed by Gordon Bashford, the 100 was powered by a 2.6-litre IOE straight-six engine—a short-stroke version of the P5’s 3-litre unit—delivering refined performance and capable of reaching 100 mph. Standard equipment included front disc brakes with servo assistance, overdrive on top gear and a heater. The interior was notably luxurious for the period, combining leather upholstery and wood trim in true British fashion.

Sale Insight:

With just 16,521 examples produced before the model's end in 1962, the Rover P4 100 remains a sought-after classic for enthusiasts of post-war British saloon cars.
