1974 (M) Rover 3500 S 5-Speed Manual

This 1974 S2 Rover 3500S has benefited from significant restoration and upgrades by a previous owner for competing in Classic Road Rallying. Chassis records confirm that this is a genuine '481' prefix 3500 S fitted with the 'D' suffix 9.25:1 compression engine. This is a combination particularly beloved of enthusiasts as it means the 4-speed manual box and an engine that can run economically on lower octane fuels. This car has been sympathetically upgraded with some choice mechanical improvements, most notably a switch to a 5-speed SD1 gearbox. This naturally increases its long distance cruising ability and comfort. Elsewhere there are suspension and brake upgrades, an aluminium sump guard and a big bore stainless exhaust to show off that burbling Buick motor. The car is naturally MOT and tax exempt but was usefully and recently MOT'd in mid 2023 (to comply with classic rallying requirements) so a buyer has an independent check on its condition. This test expired in June 2023 with no advisories showing and the car has covered very few miles since. Specification includes : Satellite digital speedometer - Heavy duty aluminium sump guard - Uprated brakes - Uprated suspension - Big Bore stainless steel exhaust - Battery Cut Off switch (boot mounted) - Anti Spill battery mounting. An excellent example of a S2 P6 A great example of British Engineering to use as you will. Viewing strictly by appointment only.
