Default Freddies Rover 3500 V8 videos

Popped past freddies yesterday and got to see his gorgeous Rover 3500 . That car is a beast but as pretty as a prom queen. Sat in the car revving the engine and man, did the car rock nicely as it should.
Had my phone with me so took a video of it to share with you. Its in two parts as I turned the camera off before remembering to video the engine bay

Turn the bass up and get ready to rock

Not just any P6 but a 3500S. This was the predecessor of the SD1 Vitesse which I have at present.
I had my first Rover, a 1967 P6 2000 TC when I was in my early 20’s. It was a cracking car and I sold it to my brother when I got my first company car. Several years later he scrapped it because it needed too much work done on it.
I wasn’t amused at the time as I would have bought it back and kept it.

Three years hard work and deep pockets were order of the day.

That's a seriously nice car, to put it mildly . You should be immensely proud of what you've achieved .

Would love to see any more photos you may have of her.
