Rover p6 3500 as first car?

Question

I was thinking about getting a rover p6 3500 as my first car. That's the v8 one. Would it be any good? What would insurance be like? Whats fuel economy like?

Thanks

Answer 1

Great engine but loads of bodywork and suspension problems. Expect 14 to 15mpg around town (on a good day), a little more on a run. Insurance is cheap on a classic car policy. I had one for years and the engine never let me down but it was expensive to fuel, and that was when it was a quarter of the current price!

Answer 2

I'm so bloody insanely jealous I'm not going to tell you

git

Answer 3

lol...yes we know its the v8..and what a lump they are..love the car,the sound...but it will burn a hole in your pocket unless you live in the USA.

Answer 4

Nice choice, engine is bulletproof, bodywork will probably require lots of upkeep, fuel economy ? lol, not the car to buy if you're worried about that, insurance should be buttons on a classic policy

Answer 5

They always used to say to make sure you got the SE version, because it was more comfortable to wait for the AA in. Enough said.
