All 4 Rover P5 Generations
Each generation deals in its rarity tier’s alloy with its engine disc, lead specs, and first spotter record. Click into any generation for full trims and market figures.
The B in Rover's P5B stands for Buick — the quintessentially British luxury saloon's V8 was a design Rover bought wholesale from General Motors' Buick division.
This 3-Litre Rover became the unofficial Downing Street car — British Prime Ministers from Harold Wilson to Margaret Thatcher were chauffeured in one.
The Mark II's coupe didn't sacrifice its rear doors for style like most coupes do — it kept all four, just with a roofline cut 2.5 inches lower for a faux-hardtop look.
This P5's straight-six ran an oddball valve layout — intake valves overhead, exhaust valves down the side — a quirk Rover simply carried over from the older P4.
