The oldest car I've ever worked on! 1972 Rover 3500 V8 Detail 

I’ve detailed this actual car a few times. Belonged to a friend of mine. Paint on it is very delicate as it was last repainted back in the late 1990’s It had a light ceramic coating on it way back in 2018 but after the owner that I did it for passed away in 2020 it wasn’t properly maintained and had suffered. I detailed it again in 2021 prior to its sale no ceramic coating was applied it was only sealed and waxed. I know this car very well. So glad it’s looking how it should again. Well done

Care & knowledge = The Rover 3500 return to showroom condition! Chapeau! LDS👏👏👏

The P6B V8 is a fabulous car, it was well ahead of it's time in many areas- especially in terms of safety, it was the safest saloon on the road back in the 70's. It was also a super saloon- fore runner to the BMW M5 concept. When the 3500S manual was launched, it hit 60 in 9 seconds dead- and 125 mph, which was very rapid back in 1969/70. An E-Type hit 60 in 7 seconds and did 140 (true) mph, and was regarded as a 'super car.' The P6 still does some things better than any modern car- it's ride quality is sybaritic- like riding a magic carpet. Visibility is superb- far better than a modern lump. Ergonomics a superb- especially for the era, when many manufacturer's tended to get a box of switch gear and throw it at the dash. Where it landed- it got fitted! LOL The P6 has perfect 50/50 weight distribution, and a sophisticated De Dion rear tube suspension- which companies like Aston were using at this time. The traction and grip of the P6 is superb- especially for a car of this era. Braking? Discs all round- very effective- no need to pussy foot around and forward plan for braking like you do in so many classic cars. The P6 is one of the easiest classics to use as a daily driver. I own a 3500 like this one- auto, Mexico brown, it's an absolute gem to drive and every journey has a 'sense of occasion' about it. It oozes class with lots of stainless steel and chrome. Ask yourself this question- If you buy a modern 'prestige' car today, where is the 'quality?' Chromed *plastic* doesn't constitute quality. You can park a P6 up next to anything today, and the car snob in you will relish looking down your nose at the soulless moderns with plastic bumpers and fake chrome- which even Bentley's come with today. The buying public are being mugged off- with plastic shit, dull styling and far too much complexity- sensors galore- very expensive when they start letting go. About five years ago, 'Practical Classics,' magazine took a P6 over to Belgium, and they handed it over to the team of judges who judge the Europen Car Of The Year Award. The P6 was the first car to win that accolade. The judges raved about the P6 in the recent assessment. They highlighted the superb ride, brilliant ergonomics, taught handling, excellent traction, fantastic visibility and ease with which it can be positioned on the road. They loved it's solid, well engineered feel and summed up by saying, "The Rover P6 still does some things better than any modern car. We haven't progressed very far since the 1960's."

Brilliant save. Love those cars and love the wheels on it too

Beautiful example. Top job. The engine bay is immaculate too. 👍

Beautiful. My dad had the 3500S in monza red....loved it. BTW it's a 1972, not a 1977 lol

Amazing job especially working with such thin paint 👍

Great job, you’ve the patience of a saint and an incredible eye for detail. Great colour too.

Amazing Job mate , an probably my favourite car , cant get on with those wheels though, for me I'd bang wire wheels on her , bet you love cleaning them 😅

It's a P6 ! That's how you say it !

Auto molto elegante

Me again it's a 72 🙄 not a 77 ! God help us .

This is my old rover of around 25 years,i rebuilt it and painted it in cellulose paint so yes it's thin no clear coat should be on the car! The rear deck panel was always a pain dropping back . Good to see it's still around all be it heavily modified😮! Shame for such a rare car /trim
