Description

New in stock: Carefully restored Rover TC 3500 V8 S.

Viewing by appointment only.

The Rover 3500 S of the P6 series is a legendary British saloon that was produced from 1971 to 1977. The “S” in the name does not stand for Sport, but for Synchromesh (synchronised), referring to the four-speed manual gearbox that distinguished this model from the earlier 3500 models, which were available exclusively with an automatic transmission.

The 3500 S is known for its powerful and relatively lightweight engine, which made it very fast for its time.

Engine: A 3.5-litre V8 engine (3528 cc) made of aluminium, originally a Buick design.

Power: 145 hp with approx. 274 Nm of torque.

Gearbox: 4-speed manual gearbox with full synchromesh.

Acceleration (0–100 km/h): approx. 9 seconds. Top speed: approx. 195–200 km/h.

The P6 series was technically very advanced for its time:

The chassis was equipped with an advanced De Dion rear axle and disc brakes all round (mounted inboard at the rear to reduce unsprung weight).

The distinctive design and the spare wheel often mounted on the boot lid (as part of the “Touring Package”) make the Rover P6 a real head-turner. The V8 badges also attract the attention of enthusiasts and connoisseurs.

The interior impresses with luxurious equipment including an adjustable steering column, opening windows and leather seats, optional on the S version. Thanks to the special front suspension, this Rover also offers a generous amount of space. The distinctive twin headlights and black vinyl roof give the P6 an unmistakably imposing appearance.

The Rover 3500 was a popular vehicle used by the British police for motorway pursuits due to its combination of speed and stability. The relatively low weight, achieved through the extensive use of aluminium (in both the engine and the bodywork), makes the Rover extremely agile.

Our stunning 3500 S is also equipped with hydraulic power steering, a new stainless-steel exhaust system, four new Michelin MXV tyres, electronic ignition, a modified fuel pump (now electric as well) and a new fuel tank, and has undergone a complete inspection.

The body was professionally repainted in the original Paprika colour a few years ago and subsequently thoroughly rust-proofed. In addition, the entire interior was renewed, new chrome bumpers were fitted and the rosettes, once available as accessories, were installed, all of which add to the appearance of this beautiful Rover. Compared with other offerings, this vehicle is not cheap, but it is difficult to find an example of equal quality. Neither the owner nor the restorer spared any expense here and regarded this car as a prestige project – and it shows everywhere, even beneath the upholstery.
