It was often referred to as the poor man's Rolls-Royce, but of course Rover's luxurious three-liter was not for those on a tight budget. As the company's first self-supporting saloon, the Rover 3 Litre combined tradition and modernity in both design and technology. This was well received, as the model, also known as the P5, was built for 15 years. This vehicle report describes the development history and technical features and shows the Rover P5/P5B in historical and current images as well as in contemporary sales literature.
