"En P4 i bra brukskick och mycket själ. En aristokrat med rikliga mängder skinn och träarbeten. Fin patina."

Description

A P4 in fair condition - with improved original paintwork with many chafings, rust spots and other traces of pleasurable usage.
The interior is original with fine patina both on the maroon skin upholstry and the woodwork. This is a car with some minor flaws such as worn chrome and dry rubber strips - both a part of the soul.
According to receipts the brakes were refurbished during the 1980s. Inspection protocols show that the car has been driven very little since then. The car was deregistred in 2015 and is now immobilized.
Rover P4 is a beloved classic in Great Britain and is sometimes called a true aunt´s Rover!

Facts about the model

P4 var brittiska Rovers mellanstora sedan från 1949 och fram till 1964 när den ersattes av Rover 2000. Från början fick modellen den sexcylindriga 2,1-litersmotorn från Rover 75 och fyra år senare tvålitersmotorn från Rover 60. Redan från början fick den fyrväxlad växellåda men det var först 1953 som den blev helsynkroniserad. Bilar utan Overdrive fick dessutom frihjul. Bilarna hade separat chassi med individuell hjulupphängning och bladfjädring bak. Bromssystemet blev helt hydrauliskt 1950. Karosserna byggdes av Pressed Steel med dörrar och huvar i aluminium och magnesium.
