Uncommon hard back first edition, published by Crowood in 1997. Hardbound in blue boards, gold lettering to spine, 192 pages. Dust jacket now protected in a removable, non-adhesive sleeve.

Rover devotee James Taylor charts the history of what is sometimes considered “the last real Rover”, a splendid example of traditional British luxury saloon building. Illustrated with colour and black-and-white photographs, the development of all P5 and P5B models is covered including complete specifications of all models. The P5 series Rovers were not designed for motor racing but the P5 and P5B did have some success in rallying.

The book and dust jacket are in excellent, virtually as-new condition.
