Please give Derek a mic. He is such a wise person with a lot to say, just wish I could hear him properly!
as a kid in the 70s these were cars to really admire
Love them there super swanky proper like 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏✌️
I owned a Rover coupe back in the mid 1970's when they were comparatively still new. Lovely car and a few extra clocks the saloon didn't have and even heating under the rear seats. I was in my 20's with a young family and found the fuel consumption difficult to live with and sadly had to part with it. Buitb today I'd rather have a nice Rover Coupe than a Rolls Royce
I love my Bentley but it probably cost me more than the Rover to extend my garage so it would fit !
I owned several p6 3500 cars including 2x manual 3500S car. Most comfortable car I have owned. Would tow a train and didn’t seem to matter how I drove it, still did 24/25 mpg...had to sell my last one to buy my girlfriend’s engagement ring. Still married, keep reminding her that my 3500S is on her finger..!
Id say that's my favorite British car, such style, and so solid, I love those seats, the rear over sized number plate always fascinated me, I love the colours, the dark blue or maroon with a light grey roof was always the car Id have, but I have to say this combination of colours really works for me too .
BEAUTIFUL ROVER ❤
I would counter that with if haven't got £15k but love the lines of the Coupe get a tattier one for less money - yes, it won't be a 'proper car' but these cars still have a life a to live! If you know what you're buying and don't mind just go for it!!
A car that has been looked after with tender loving care. A good practical car for taking to shows. A good car over 50 years old, very rare today.
I've ownend several of these beautiful majestic car's since 1987. O In either coupe or saloon form Outt of my current classic car collection my current p5b is my favourite. my very 1st coupe EMH- --J is is still around although its had a colour change. My current p5b is silverbirch with burnt grey roof and saddle tan seats. It's not as tidy as some of my previous rover p5b's but it's low ownership and very solid , which is most important.
When I was studying for a degree in electronic engineering at the University of Birmingham in 1970, the Vice Chancellor had one of these. Fantastic!
Very nice 👌 👍
loved these cars my dad had one would have been nice to have seen the engine compartment
A look under the bonnet would have been nice.
Looks just like the under bonnet of an early Range Rover
I think the seats on top gear were from a rolls or Bentley
Correct
The last "proper" Rovers. Wasn't there a story that Jim Callaghan was PM and was collected from no.10 in a brand new SD1 3500? Apparently, when he got to the destination the chauffeur found him holding the rear passenger window that had fallen out in-transit and that was why the Coupe was still in use when Maggie Thatcher took over as PM in 1979.
Coupe was never used. Only the saloon but you're right about the SD1😮
@@rubbishsignup And i think Cyril Smith MP also had one for ages - because it was easy for him to get in / out of.
@marklorne6790 yes PDK380H. No longer showing on DVLA so probably scrapped.
He starts by saying these cars are "got at" then suggests you should 'get at it' by doing the jobs that it could do with, one Sunday morning. lol.
The old saying that everyone knows is - You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
The Top Gear studio seats are obviously Rolls Royce.
A bit of artistic licence in the storytelling at the end. The saloons( never the coupe) were in service 1967 to 1983 ish. They were standard production cars. They were certainly not "thrown together" and were almost handbuilt in relatively small numbers.
He does talk a lot of rubbish.
Farther had rovers from P4 through P5 coupe to 1968 P5B.
P5B was a chauffeur driven car from British steel.
It turned out to be as rotten as a pear.
The 3L mk 3 was essentially the same vehicle with the exception of the engine.
Rear axle ratio was the same.
Build quality of the P5 3 litre was far superior.
I think he underestimates the value of P5B'S in general. Nice ones regularly exceed 15k. The front seat is a mess and it's missing its coachline.
The " government " cars had armour plating.
They certainly did with the labour party they needed them
@@clivefrankwhite4690 Please Please Please, lets not go down that road, Politics divides us all and its pointless, it ruins the good things in life.
It’s a Rover 3.5 not 3500! A P5 not a P6.
I wish Derek would stop his waffling and let us here about the motor car he's on about
Ramblings of some old git not making much sense.
Spoken like a true skint messer
@@chiefrocka8604Seen it’s channel, full on nutcase.
I agree, he does talk rollocks. He could run the would from his window cleaners ladder. 😆
