・Luxurious British classic
・Rare model

This rakish coupe with its lowered roof line over the standard saloon has a certain grace to its appearance and wouldn’t looked out of place parked at a stately home, finished in black paintwork and with comprehensive service history, within its last 15 years of ownership in the same family it is the perfect grand tourer for those long weekends away.

The coupe was produced from 1965 to 1967 and just 2501 examples were sold, making this car a rare and desirable model. The engine was tweaked to give 134 horsepower and in its coupe stance had two individually moulded rear seats, making it a more comfortable ride for the rear occupants.  This car has had 5 owners in total, the previous two in the same family for 15 years, when the current owners father past away in 2016 they decided to keep hold of the car for its fond memories and love that had been put in to it, this is shown by the comprehensive receipts and records from 2006. 

Sadly the time has now come for the family to part with the vehicle as they would like it to go to an owner who has the time to look after it. The car runs mechanically well and overall appearance is excellent for its years. 

All tyres have good tread and wheels are clean with no visible scuffs or scratches on the large chrome centres. Paperwork as mentioned is comprehensive over the last 15 years, and the service book has the early years stamped up. In December 2008 it had a new automatic box, photos show invoice and details of garage. Spare wheel is in good condition and good tread on tyre. 

The underside of the car appears to be very clean and no signs of rust from what we can see, only one key is included. The red leather interior is in good overall condition with some slight cracking on the drivers side, this would require some trimming if you wanted to get it in tip top condition. On the passenger front door insert it has come away and again would require the a refurb, also the same door is out of alignment slightly hence the chipped part on the inside of the door shut.

The car has had its electrics fully restored, no records for this as it was done through a family friend but all aspects are operational. There are no visible signs of rust, and the bodywork apart from some chips on two of the inner door shuts and edge of drivers door is in good shape. You might need to invest in a few cans of polish to stay on top of the black paintwork but it will be a day well spent as this car is suited so much to the darker colour, especially with the extended chrome strip along the side of the car and large chrome grill

From the current owners knowledge the power steering has a leak in the system that is a common fault and easily rectified, the water pump may need refurbished or possibly require new gaskets as there is a small leak common through. Brakes have been done and the car starts up first time and runs very smoothly.

This car stands out due to its polished black paint work, complimentary red leather interior. It was also HM Queen Elizabeth’s favourite car in the 1960s where she had numerous P5s, these were for her personal use so you can say with confidence that you feel like a member of Royalty when driving this relaxed and elegant saloon. Or you may indeed see this car enough of a bargain that you can hire your own personal chauffeur for those weekend trips away and really arrive in style.
