p5pete Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Good looks. Pulls like a train with a good flexible engine and 3 speed auto box. Did not make much difference with MPG doing short around town journeys and longer journeys towing. Click here to view the towcar review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderDave Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I used to tow with a 1972 P5B saloon and agree they do pull well but I found the back end was a bit light . The only common problem they had was the camshaft and the rear crankshaft oil seal would leak.

peterjohn Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It was always considered to be one of the best for towing at the time, I always wanted one but couldn't afford one. Maybe I will be able to buy George Gentley's if he's finished with it?......Peter Peter and Sandy pulling a 2016 Coachman VIP 565 with 2016 Ford Kuga 2. 0. 180 ps. Titanium Nav.

Bill Lord Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 A long time ago as a Student I stood by the M6 junction at Haydock and this big Rover pulled up and gave me a lift all the way to Oxford. What I remember most was flying down the motorway at a steady 105 ( no speed limits in those days ) and the car did mot seem in the slightest bit stressed. It was a very memorable trip.
