	Untitled Document
		Rover had been toying with the idea of base unit construction shortly after the start of the P4 production run, when it was realised just how much weight that solid steel chassis would add to the car, and years before Citroens DS 19 was launched in 1955.
		Rover owned hundreds of acres of land adjacent to the existing Solihull factory, but their requests for planning approval to build factory extensions were being continually disallowed by the government.
		P5 was designed around a monocoque pressed steel body shell, but was extremely strong due to the addition of a box section chassis sub-frame running from the front of the car back to the front seat area.

	P5 Rover 60 75
		Current Rovers are indisputably good cars, yet the new design secures not only a considerable improvement in performance but at the same time a reduction in fuel consumption, which is a remarkable double achievement in engineering, and is the result of an entirely new form of cylinder head and valve arrangement.
		First, on the physical side, the Rover P3 head places the sparking plug in the centre of the flat side of a hemisphere, so that the lenght of flame travel is equal in all directions, and at a minimum.
		Another excellent Rover feature is that the sliding telscopic joint for the propeller shaft is not exposed but is contained within a tail extension of the gear box, where it is automatically lubricated and protected from road grit.

	The greatest: Rover P5/P5B
		Rover had become rich and confident thanks to the launch of the Land Rover in 1948, and it seemed that what was seen as the company's previous stuffiness (but was actually having an eye for building cars for a grown up clientele) would be lost for good.
		Although it is hard to believe now, the P5 was something of a departure from the Rovers that preceded it, and it could be said that it was this, and not the P6 that marked the point in time when Rover began to shake off its "Auntie" image once and for all.
		MG Rover launched the 75 V8 in 2004, and ensured that the world knew that it was paying homage to the P5 with its full-depth grille design.

	Rover P5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rover P5 series (commonly called 3-Litre and 3½ Litre for the engine displacement) was a group of large (in European terms) saloon and coupe automobiles produced from 1958 through 1973.
		The Mark II version of the P5 was introduced in 1962.
		When Margaret Thatcher entered Downing Street in 1979 after her election victory, she was driven in a 1972 model- and it was during Thatcher's eleven year tenure that the P5 was eventually phased out as a Prime-Ministerial car, in favour of the Jaguar XJ- a 2001 model of which is used to transport Tony Blair.

	ROVER
		Rover P4 In August of 1942 one of the Whittle-type 'W2B's had been installed in the tail of a Wellington Bomber, and was test flown from the Rolls Royce flight test field at Hucknall, near Nottingham.
		Rover's wartime activities were vast and although the gas turbine engine projects were a crucial development, it must be remembered that the aircraft construction work was vital to the defence of Britain.
		Rover P5 At its launch the P5 was released with an all drum braking system, but this was revised to Girling disc brakes on the front for the second year of production, also being standardised on the P4 80 and 100 models at the same time.

	Engines: Rover V8
		For several years, Spen King and Gordon Bashford had been investigating alternative power units to power their top of the range cars; the 3-litre straight-six engine found in the P5 was by this time well past its sell-by date, being heavy, not particularly refined and uneconomical.
		It was Rover's Managing Director, William Martin-Hurst, who managed to source the 3.5-litre V8 engine, having cast far and wide for something suitable - and finding it by accident in an American boatyard.
		The Range Rover continued to use the V8 engine throughout its life, yet this never really proved to be a barrier to sales, even during the second fuel crisis of 1979 and the ensuing world recession.

	CLASSIC CARS ROVER P5: For Queen and country Independent, The (London) - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		She was often to be seen driving a P5 saloon when 'off duty', and it is believed to be her favourite car to this day.
		At once the big Rover (now codenamed P5B for Buick) was almost trendy, and at a shade under pounds 2,000 Rover could barely keep pace with demand, which remained strong until the car's death in 1973.
		In a sense there was nothing to replace the P5 as a ministerial barge: no other British car being built in the 1970s had the same air of solid worth and dignity.

	History P5
		The P5, as it was named, was clearly a response to the "success" Jaguar had with its Mk VII.
		For the first time a Rover could now be had with (optional) power steering, and yes, actually the P5 needed it although it took away a lot of "feel".
		The P5 became quieter by a raised rear axle ratio.

	Rover P5 (3 litre) 1958-1973 - Phil Seed's Virtual Car museum
		Rover introduced the 3.5 litre, known as the P5B, in 1967.
		The P5 (3 Litre) had an option of a manual or automatic gearbox.
		The differences between the two models are: wheels, chrome Rostyles on the P5B, straight side moulding as opposed to a sharp angle on the P5, no hole in the front grille for the starting handle, rubber strips on the over-riders and recessed fog lamps in the front wings on the P5B

	Rover P6 3500 - GB Classic Cars
		Rover introduced the V8 version of the P6 in April 1968 as the Three Thousand Five saloon, a designation it would carry until late 1970 when it became known as the 3500.
		This luxurious saloon basically shared the body and most of the features of the smaller engined 2000 P6 saloon that was introduced in 1963, including the de Dion rear suspension and four wheel disc brakes, however it was only available with automatic transmission to begin with.
		The Rover 3500 and 3500 S were both discontinued in June 1976.

		The remains of Rover were bought by BMW and then sold, with Land Rover going to Ford.

	Rover 75 - Cars Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		Simple, this car has style and it has class and this is the return to where Rover used to be before even I was a twinkle in my mum and dad's eyes.
		Rover based the 75 on the first post-war car it made called the P4 75, hence the styling cues from an era where Rover made well-engineered cars using the most modern technology available.
		Rover in the next thirty years made cars loved by royalty (The Queen had a Rover P5 that she drove herself) and government, again, the P5 was the personal favourite of no less than four Prime Ministers.

	A Rover P5 built 1965
		We had previously been using a 1969 Morris Minor Traveller, so the transformation to the Rover was dramatic to say the least.
		We said we would have it providing the exchange price for the Traveller was acceptable, it was, and the deal was done, the Rover had a new home.
		It wasn't until a little later that I realised the rate at which the car was swallowing fuel, I logged the mileage and amounts required to fill up - checked with the book as to what I should get - and found I had problems.

		Taylor covers the background to the P5 decision, engineering and engine development, MkI to MkIII 3-litre cars, the V8 engine and 3.5-litre cars, competition and rally history, as well as offering expert advice on buying and running a P5 today.
		Built from 1958 to 1973, the P 5 and P 5 B were the last Rovers to compete with the likes of Jaguar and other top British manufacturers.For this reason,a history of these cars is long overdue, and James Taylor could not have taken more trouble with his research.
