Classic Risers

Rover P5B

The P5B is all about one thing – comfort. It has a luxurious and well-appointed cabin that is a fine place to while away the miles. And you will, because this is a car that can cover long distances without putting any strain on the driver or passengers. Finger-light steering and a cosseting ride make covering big miles a relaxing affair, though B-road heroics are strictly off the menu here.

The P5B is no sluggard, though, despite a hefty kerb weight – the smooth, torquey V8 engine is more than capable of providing a decent turn of pace, although making the most of that performance will come at the expense of eyewatering fuel consumption.
