The Rover P5 and P5B was the flagship Rover model throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. It was the official transport for prime ministers from Edward Heath to Margaret Thatcher and it was also chosen b the Queen as her personal car. The Rover P5 is highly regarded in the classic car world today.


In this readable and authoritative book, acknowledged Rover expert James Taylor describes the development of the Rover P5, first with a Rover engine adapted from the Rover P4 and, for the P5B, an adapted Buick engine. He also covers the coupe versions, the rally cars and the specials that were adapted for government, military and Royal use.


Including archive and colour photography, and incorporating recent research, this is an essential guide to one of Britain’s most respected cars.
