1963 Rover P4 95, 2625cc. Registration number 330 HAC. Chassis number 76002291A. Engine number 76002434A.

Final flowering of the Rover P4 range, the 95 and 110 models were introduced in 1962. The more popular of the two, the Rover 95 was based around a sturdy box-section chassis equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a Panhard rod located 'live' rear axle and hydraulic disc / drum brakes. Boasting a seven-bearing crankshaft, its smooth 2625cc oise straight-six engine was rated at 102bhp and 140lbft of torque. Allied to a four-speed manual gearbox and powering the rear wheels via a 3.9:1 final drive ratio, it reputedly endowed the dignified-looking saloon with a 93mph top speed. Exchanging its aluminium bonnet, boot and door skins for less dent-prone steel ones during 1964, the Rover 95 was phased out of production in May of that year (though, not before some 3,680 had been sold).

One of just 268 surviving Rover 95 cars currently known to the DVLA, chassis 76002291A has only a believed correct 25,625 miles on the odometer. Our vendor purchased it in 2018 via an online auction where the vendor stated the 'Eric' had been owned by his wife's grandfathers brother, when he died it went into storage until they resurrected it in 2012. There is list of fuel used and cost for a trip to Germany in 1965, tax discs from 1975, 78 and 79, then 2013/14/15.

During their ownership it had an electronic ignition system fitted, as well as a stainless steel exhaust, new tyres, a CD player, carbs rebuilt, and various other electrical items.
Our vendor has had the brake servo replaced and added electronic steering and changed the polarity to negative earth at a cost of £1,100. The cataloguer would like to note that the power steering was a revelation, normally these cars are heavy to maneuver in a garage, this was easy, so much so that he took it for an enjoyable test drive, a highly recommended upgrade!

There is MOT history from 2012 when the mileage was 21,764.

The interior of the P4 is in wonderful condition and appears to be totally original as does the bodywork although the paint has dulled in places.

Sold with the V5C, MOT's listed above, tax discs, various receipts for works undertaken and other paperwork.
