Craner Classics are delighted to offer this stunning 1961 Rover 100 with the highly desirable overdrive gearbox. This beautifully presented example comes with a documented service history along with a collection of old MOT certificates, providing a wonderful record of its history and ownership.
The bodywork is excellent all round and, importantly, the car is remarkably solid with no rot. It presents extremely well and has clearly been cherished and maintained throughout its life.
One of the standout features of this Rover is the stunningly refurbished interior. The carpets, headlining, door cards and other interior trim have all been beautifully renewed, resulting in an interior that is both fresh and extremely smart while retaining the wonderful character of this classic Rover.
The quality of the refurbishment is excellent and certainly would not have been inexpensive to undertake.
Under the bonnet, the Rover starts instantly on the button and settles into a beautiful, smooth idle.
The engine sounds lovely and the car gives that wonderfully authentic driving experience you would expect from a well-sorted classic of this era. The overdrive gearbox is an added bonus, making this an especially enjoyable and usable classic for longer journeys.
This is a particularly charming example of the Rover 100, combining excellent presentation, a superb refurbished interior, a solid body and a lovely mechanical feel.
A truly beautiful period Rover that is ready to be enjoyed and admired.
