Rover 75

The Rover P4, affectionately known as “Auntie Rover,” was given this nickname by legendary racing driver Denis Jenkinson after a P4 had made a tortuous journey seem “just as if going to Aunty’s for tea”. Despite its nickname, the P4 was not to be underestimated. In 1955, Paolo Lando Barsotti drove a P4 in the Mille Miglia; the same year, Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson took first place, adding a touch of glamour to this solid and reliable saloon car.

Although the car is considered quintessentially British, its design, which was strongly influenced by Raymond Loewy’s designs for Studebaker, was not. During trials, Spencer Wilks, Rover’s Managing Director, even integrated a 1948 Studebaker body onto a prototype P4 chassis. The car’s design was later updated by David Bache, whose styling of the front grill and headlights became the car’s signature feature.

With its authentic Black paintwork, original leather interior and period details the car is in its original state with no modifications. A past participant of the Mille Miglia the Rover 75 certified eligible to participate in the 2024 Milli Miglia event.
