The Appeal

Since the Rover marque is sadly long-gone from our roads, we mustn't forget just how good these cars were. Rover's post-war saloons were particularly well-regarded in their day and P4 series cars had scores of illustrious owners, including none other than Grace Kelly of Monaco and King Hussein of Jordan!

The 110 was the final and most advanced of the P4s, capable of a 100 mph top speed when tested by UK magazine 'Motor' in 1963; certainly no slouch for its day. This 1963 example is one of smartest we've seen as it's been treated to an extensive restoration.

Whether gracing local shows or serving as a stylish choice for weddings and proms, this Rover P4 110 is sure to impress. You'd be amazed just how usable these cars can be.
