A pleasant hybrid of sedan and coupé, the Rover 3.5 was introduced in 1967 and remained in production until 1973. It was the first car in which Rover used the 3528cc Buick-derived V8 engine. The power was remarkable for the time: 144 horsepower, which allowed a top speed of over 170 km / h. Excellent acceleration, despite the automatic gearbox, proposed as the only solution. Power steering was standard, as were elegant Rostyle rims.
