Rover P5B information... A brief synopsis The Rover P5 was in production from 1959 to 1967. In 1966 the famous Rover 3.5 litre V8-engine was introduced in the P5B (shown above). The engine was developed from a Buick V8, and some people say that is why the V8 model was called the P5B. There were 20,600 P5Bs produced in total. A P5B can be recognised by... Magnum type wheels finished in chrome and black The "3.5 LITRE" badge on the boot lid and rear edge of the front wings Fog lamps accommodated in decompressions in the front wings Gilded metal badge in the centre spine of the radiator grille Twin tail pipes (sometimes) Chrome body side mouldings incorporating indicator repeaters The sound, a distinctive "90o V8 burble" Rather impoverished looking owners More information on Rover P5B's can be found at these locations Australian Classic Car Monthly The Rover P5 Club UK Home
