Produced from 1970 to 1977, the Rover P6 Series 2 represented the refined second phase of a model line that had already established its reputation by winning the inaugural European Car of the Year award. The Series 2 carried forward the P6's distinctive unit-body construction with unstressed outer panels, offering buyers a choice of four-cylinder and V8 engine options across the 2000, 2200, and 3500 designations. Among the variants offered in this generation was the 3500S, a manual-gearbox version of the V8-powered car that gave drivers more direct engagement with the Buick-derived 3.5-litre engine. Built at Solihull under British Leyland ownership, the Series 2 closed out the P6's production run in 1977 and remained a benchmark for European executive saloon engineering from its era.
