The Rover P5, introduced in 1958, became synonymous with British elegance and governmental prestige. As the choice of Prime Ministers and royalty, including Queen Elizabeth II, it was a symbol of high-end British automotive engineering. In 1967, the model underwent a significant transformation with the introduction of the Rover P5B variant which housed an ex-Buick-derived 3.5-litre V8 engine - a lightweight aluminium unit that provided ample power while maintaining smooth operation characteristic of luxury vehicles at that time.
Following on from this legacy was the Rover P6 series, launched in 1963 as an innovative executive car featuring modern styling distinct from its more conservative predecessor, the P4. The pinnacle came when Rover decided to install their dependable V8 into this advanced chassis; thus emerged the revered P6 3.5 V8 models beginning in late-1968 known as '3500'.
This powertrain not only delivered impressive performance but also firmly embedded these cars in Britain's cultural identity. Their racing heritage and widespread presence in popular media during the production run, which extended until 1977, solidified them as one of the last true Rovers before corporate mergers reshaped the landscape for one of Britain's most esteemed automotive marques.

Rimmer Bros, established in 1982, is a British company supporting British cars. The Rimmer Bros service is hard to beat: we have the parts, we guarantee the quality, we're keen on price, we deliver fast, we know your car.
As the British motor industry contracted, Rimmer Bros expanded to ensure the continued maintenance, restoration and enjoyment of many beloved classic cars no longer supported by their original makers. Our support, starting strongly with Triumph, extended to include Rover SD1 models in the 1990s, and later expanded to cover Land Rover and Range Rover models, reaching up to the present day. In 2005, our commitment grew to encompass more modern MG-Rover cars and by 2012 we further extended our range to include Jaguar models from 1996 onwards. This growth reflects our dedication to serving the diverse community of classic and modern British car enthusiasts.
