Launch and Pricing
The P5B was introduced in September 1967 as the last generation of the Rover P5 line. At launch the four‑door saloon was priced at £1,999 and the two‑door coupé at £2,097, reflecting its premium market position.
Styling and Engine Shift
Alongside a revised styling package, the P5B generation ditched the older 3‑litre V8 in favour of a newer power unit, signalling a clear technical break from earlier P5 models. This redesign helped modernise the car’s appearance and performance for the late‑1960s market.
British Icon and Parts Availability
Today the P5B is celebrated as an iconic classic British automobile, often highlighted for its heritage as the "Rover 3 Litre". Its electrical system uses standard Lucas components, meaning that new and used parts remain relatively easy to source for restorers.
