Above... a couple of top rate P5s from this years Wimbledon Pre-1968 bash
Rover P5 3528cc V8 OHV 4 door saloon & coupe. Produced between 1968 and 1975.
The ultimate in minesterial barges and Rover's first use of the light-alloy, ex-Buick V8.
The 160bhp under your right foot gives you 108mph and 0-50mph in under 9 seconds, even with the compulsory automatic gearbox
With power steering and Rostyle wheels as standard this must be a contender for the best British Banger
Pictured above are examples from Arena Firecarcker 1 (6.11.94), Derek Caton (Undertaker) at Ipswich and Chelmsford Gladiators and Essex Vermin at the Braintree dirt track in 1990
