I had a 1948 P2 as a student in the early '70s and loved it to bits. It had been owned by a Rover employee and so was in pretty good nick. I agree about the dangers of the freewheel, nice idea but not with old brakes. Best gear change of any car I have ever driven.
That is one verry beautifull old Rover . It shows again and again , if you care for them a Rover can outlast practicaly all other brands . My 75 is just 22 years now , so it goes into its adolesence ! 😄😄😄
Yes, Rover were the poor man’s Rolls-Royce’ I once owned a Rover P5B Rover Coupe. It was like driving around in a ‘gentleman’s club’ on wheels. I am a bit of a connoisseur of luxury cars, but they don’t necessarily have be fast & powerful as well, however, my current machine is both - it is an XJ Portfolio, it has both!
Beautiful car, the mind boggles to think it's almost 90 years old 👌

Really is a lovely motor.
Fantastic

14hp was the tax hp. In reality it would be about 50hp.
Lovely classic. Those were the days! Must be worth £12,000.
