1963 Rover P4 110 – This original Rover P4 is the personal car of the former President of The Rover P4 Drivers Guild of Australia.

The Rover P4 110 was introduced at the London Motor Show at Earls Court in September 1962 and was the most powerful P4 to date that incorporated many modifications over the outgoing P4 100. Most important of these was the “Westlake head”, which consisted of a redesigned induction system with better shaping in the manifold to improve the airflow, and gave quite a remarkable power increase combined with a new big 2 inch SU HD8 carburettor and most of the other mechanical changes from the P5 3-litre engine.

This particular car was imported by the Australian distributor Grenville Motors, Sydney NSW, in 1964 and is an export right hand drive car fitted with a low compression engine. The low compression engines were mainly sent to Australia and New Zealand where higher octane fuels were not available at the time. The date of first registration was June 1964 and is the 190th chassis of a total of 209 P4 110 export model cars and is verified by The Rover P4 Drivers Guild UK. This car being quite rare is optioned with the individual front seats, “Layback” fully adjustable type, Lucas spot lamps and cigar lighter. Only four P4 110s are known to the Rover P4 Drivers Guild of Australia Inc.

In 2011 the car passed to Ian Cummings a very well known classic car dealer in NSW and was driven to his private museum in Ross, Tasmania as part of his permanent expansive collection before being purchased by the current owner in 2015.

Such a significant P4, it was on display at RACV Bourke Street as part of their Heritage Vehicle Series.

This P4 is unrestored and completely original and is the ideal touring car and at 80,000 miles is barely “run in”. P4s were beautifully engineered and their survival rate today, 50 to 60 years later, is testimony to their quality.
