Description

The Rover Company.Ltd introduced the P5 in 1958 as a series of large four-door saloon and coupe? cars which Rover manufactured until 1973, through mergers with Leyland Motors and then British Leyland along the way. The car comprised the first Rover to feature unitary bodywork styled by in-house designer David Bache.  Its elegant look included an equally well-appointed interior which would see the saloon version become a firm favourite vehicle for executive,  Government and even Royal followers. It was indeed rumoured that the Government of the day bought up the last production models to keep in reserve for future use. The Rover P5 made its 1958 debut labelled as 3-Litre powered by a 2995 cc engine and 115 brake horsepower. It came with automatic transmission, overdrive on the manual and power steering were optional with overdrive becoming standard from 1960.  Due to the weight of the car, it was decided to introduce more effective brake power by fitting Girling front power disk brakes.
