1976 ROVER P6 3500 VIP

Comprehensive restoration in 2002, Rare VIP model, 78,000 miles, MOT

A unique opportunity to acquire one of the very rare 77 VIP models made by Rover in 1976 as P6 production came to an end. At that time Rover had 77 main dealerships throughout the UK and one car was allocated to each dealership. These cars were not for sale to the public, they were intended for the manager of each branch. Of the 77 VIP’s produced only seven are known to have survived including this car. Our car was subject to a comprehensive, professional restoration in 2002 at a cost of over £40,000. The work was carried out by James Watt Automotive based in Staffordshire and took over two years to complete. Invoices and correspondence are on file along with photos of the restoration which included a complete strip and rebuild, bare metal paint job, complete new leather interior and Wilton carpets, alcantara headlining, full engine rebuild to fast road spec & converted to run on unleaded fuel, new brakes, transmission and drivetrain rebuilt, stainless steel exhaust, all suspension and steering rebuilt and powder coated, all brightwork re-chromed, new wiring loom amongst much much more to result in a simply outstanding car. The underside of the car is perfect, they left no stone unturned during this restoration and no expense was spared. The car has seen little use in recent years but has just had a thorough inspection and received a new starter motor. She now starts on the button and runs very well indeed. Offered with MOT until June 2019, original books, owners manual etc are all present along with photos of the car in its original colour which was brown. This must be the best example available!

1951 CITROEN TRACTION AVANT BIG 15/6
The Traction Avant pioneered mass production of three revolutionary features still in use today: a unitary body with no separate frame, four-wheel independent suspension, and front-wheel drive. The Traction Avant's structure was a welded unitary body / chassis. Most other cars of the era were based on a separate chassis onto which the non-structural coachwork was built.
The novel design made the car very low-slung relative to its contemporaries – the Traction Avant was always distinctive, which went from appearing rakish in 1934 to familiar and somewhat old fashioned by 1955.
The 15CV model was called Big Six in reference to its 6-cylinder engine. This example of the Big Six was sold new in New Zealand and has had a very sedate life. Never being on salted roads the car is clean and straight and boasts mainly original paint, interior and low miles. My client the third and current owner of the vehicle has been a Citroen enthusiast his entire life. The time has come for him to reluctantly release it from his collection, and let a new enthusiastic owner take control of the wheel.
Seldom do opportunities like this arise. This vehicle has a graceful patina that is so often lost and can never be recreated. This is a very special car in fact In France, the Traction is known as "Reine de la Route" ("Queen of the Road") and rightfully so.
The car is accompanied by a file of paperwork, invoices and original ownership papers.
Please note the vehicle is reading 25,000 Miles.
