Rover P4 105S
Rare 105S Sympathetic £6K restoration Superb coachwork Lovely patina inside One of the Best we have seen


Insurance Group

Classic Rated


Model History
Rover finally broke away from its pre-war designs in 1949 with the launch of its new P4 75 model. The 75 was all new and featured a modern four door saloon body mounted on a substantial separate chassis. The styling of the 75 was as controversial then as the current Rover 75 is now. Only for different reasons! The original 75 was considered to be very modern and futuristic. From 1949-1952 the 75 had a front spot lamp mounted centrally in the grille. This unusual feature became known as the "Cyclops Eye" and these early cars are now a sought after model.

The 105S is a manual, 2600cc twin carb P4 which is both rare and sought after.

Exterior
Subject of a sympathetic restoration in 1991, this P4 looks absolutely stunning still today.

The superb Coachwork was refurbished by a specialist in Coventry as necessary and the quality of that workmanship was second to none.

Wheels/Tyres/Brakes
Wheels and tyres are in superb order with matching tyres. Brakes pull the car up nice and true.

Engine and Transmission
That straight six twin carb engine starts with the first turn of the key and ticks over nicely with no hint of temperament, smoke or untoward noises.

On the move it does a good job of propelling this fairly heavy car in an effortless manner.

The car has done little mileage since it's complete overhaul when it appears every major component was either deemed sound, refurbished or replaced.

Again the quality of the workmanship shows...this is by far the best driving P4 we have experienced.

Interior
Interiors are crucial areas on P4's as any expert will tell you.

Once again this car has just the right blend of original patina (seats) and refurbished elements (carpets)

Boot and Underside
The underside has been extensively undersealed and is solid and undamaged, borne out by the long MoT. The photos show the level of detail in the restoration.

On the Road
This lovely example of a P4 105S drives beautifully. The engine purrs sweetly whilst giving the impression it could be hurried! The transmission is smooth in a nice 'well-oiled' sort of way, and the brakes and suspension are well up to the job.

The car gives the driver a sense of importance and well-being, and seems to enjoy being conducted in a polite and sedate manner.

History File
511 FPL was delivered new on the 3rd June 1958. We have confirmed it's authenticity as a genuine 105S.

The original number plate is transferable (heaven forbid) and has an estimated value of £3000.

Little is known of it's early history but the current owner acquired the vehicle in 1978 (although she was registered to family members)

In 1991 a sympathetic restoration was carried out which included body and mechanical work. The total for this work is said to be in excess of £6,000 but we are awaiting the receipt from the current owner.

Market Value
105S' are rare. Cars in this condition rarer still. We think the asking price is realistic for a vehicle in this condition.

Terms and Conditions
READ BEFORE BIDDING
Please take two minutes to read and absorb these terms as they are for mutual benefit and will be strictly applied.

We strive to describe cars as accurately as possible, there is no advantage in miss describing a car. Potential customers walk away unhappy and we lose a sale.

In our listings we quote the mileage reading on the odometer at the time of sale. Unless we state otherwise, please assume that this is INCORRECT. These are old cars, and some of them will have gone round the clock once or had replacement speedos fitted. If in any doubt about our policy on this, please telephone us for clarification.

POSITIVE feedback is what we strive for, EVERY TIME. click here to see our latest feedback

We are so confident in our descriptions that if, when collecting the vehicle, you find it is mis-described then you are more than welcome to walk away and the sale needn’t proceed.

The winning bidder must pay a £250 deposit via Pay-Pal (this works with Visa/Mastercard/Switch and is non refundable) or in person within 48 hours of the end of the sale, if you do not know how to do this, we can guide you through the process and send you some instructions. If you feel you need to see the car before you make your deposit then you will have to do this within 48 hours. If this condition is not met your bid will be automatically cancelled.

After the deposit has been paid (please remember that if I have not been accurate with my description then you are entitled to a full refund), the full balance must be paid and the car collected within 5 days of the end of the sale. Failure to pay and collect the car within this period will result in a loss of the deposit and the car being re-offered to the 3 next highest bidders or re-listed. If you require storage beyond 5 days then this can be arranged at £10 per day.

At the time of collection the balance must be paid in full, using cash or banker’s draft. We will need to verify the bankers draft by calling the issuer to check authenticity. Cheques are also acceptable but need to have cleared before you are able to take possession of the vehicle.

The bid you submit is final, after all this is an auction, not an opportunity to begin negotiation upon collection which we will not entertain under any circumstances.

Description & Warranty

Our description of this vehicle is a general idea of condition. It is not exhaustive as a car is a very complex mechanical item and it would be impossible to inspect every item. One person's idea of condition is very different to the next, especially when it comes to classic cars. Please let common sense prevail. Any obvious faults that may be apparent with the vehicle should be mentioned within the description, if there are none reported then there are no obvious faults at the time of the listing.

Please remember this is a classic and by default OLD car. Expect there to be jobs that need doing, faults and imperfections . If an item or detail is not listed, please do not make presumptions regarding condition/specification, get hold of us and ask.

You can obviously test drive the car before buying / leaving to confirm that it drives as we say it does. If it doesn't...then you walk away.

ebay transactions do not carry a warranty. You can obtain classic car warranties via a number of providers.
