Rover - P6 (1966)

Looking for a classic British sports sedan that still turns heads on today's roads? The 1966 Rover P6 combines understated elegance with a light‑weight chassis, making it a beloved icon among car collectors. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just discovering the allure of vintage vehicles, understanding the Rover P6 price and what drives its market value is key.

In its debut year, the Rover P6 marked a shift toward smaller, more affordable family cars. Though it was never a high‑performance machine, the P6’s smooth 45‑hp drivetrain and impeccable handling out‑performed many of its contemporaries. Its construction—steel monocoque body and tubular chassis—remains one of the reasons collectors find the model both durable and authentic. These qualities shape the used Rover P6 price you can expect in any garage or auction.

  • Transmission: 4‑speed manual, optionally 3‑speed as early model
  • Fuel type: Petrol
  • Power output: 45 hp, 45 lb‑ft torque (typical for a mid‑70s decade car)
  • Vehicle weight: 1,190 kg (approx. 2,623 lb)
  • Dimensions: Length 3,974 mm, Width 1,518 mm, Height 1,372 mm

  • Drive: Front‑wheel drive (FWD)
  • Maximum speed: 80 mph (130 km/h)
  • Top‑off fuel capacity: 25 L (6.6 U.S. gallons)

What is a 1966 Rover P6 worth? The answer depends on a number of variables: restoration status, mileage, provenance, and market demand. In 2024, a well‑maintained Rover P6 generally falls into the $6,000–$12,000 range, but it can climb higher for rare “bridge” models (series 3), well-preserved originals, or auction sales.
