Launched in 1967, the Rover P5B (or P5 Buick if you prefer) was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and Coupe guises - both of which employed four doors - the big Rover was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Fitted with three-speed automatic transmission and power-assisted steering as standard, it proved a relaxing drive. Though, with some 161bhp and 210lbft of torque on tap, it also boasted a 115mph top speed. Well-appointed in the best Rover tradition, the P5B’s 'gentlemen's club' interior made it a firm favourite with businessman, politicians (Harold Wilson's car was reputed to have a pipe rack in the back) and even HM The Queen who still owns her Arden Green Saloon. Production lasted until 1973 by which time 9,099 Coupes and 11,501 Saloons had been built.
MBL 73E is finished in the attractive dark purple with contrasting silver roof and tan leather interior. The vendor rates the condition of the paintwork and interior trim as ‘Average’, with the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment and transmission and gearbox as ‘Good. Offered with the vehicle is a collection of previous invoices and some informational books.
