2000TC P6 - This one is listed as a 1969, but it's either not a US spec car or it's a bit older. To the best of my knowledge, all 1969 Rovers had US spec side marker lights and front seat headrests. The seller writes, "Most of the body panels are straight, all lenses are present, it has a core engine (does not run), and clean title. The red leather interior is in pretty good condition, the panels look good but the stitching on some of the seats are coming apart. It has a cracked windshield, but the rest of the glass is good. Very nice original hubcaps. No brake master or servos, no carbs or intake."
It's a project, but it's not hopeless.

1962 P5 4 Door Coupé - This is a P5, not a P5B as it's listed as. This car is what Rover called a Coupé. The P5 Coupé was a 4 door sedan with its roof lowered about 3 inches. It also had thinner b-pillars and rear quarter windows.
The engine in this car should be a 3.0 liter 6. It puts out 129 HP. The P5 was no rocket, but it had enough power to get out of its own way.
This car is in rough shape, but it's complete. It's RHD and has a 4 speed overdrive transmission.
If you have the time, money and talent, this would be a cool car to restore and bring to shows.

1970 P6 3500S - This might be the coolest of the bunch, but it's in very tough shape. The 3500S was designed with the North American market in mind. The engine was Rover's aluminum V8. Standard features included air-conditioning, electric windows and power steering. It also had a little device called an "Icelert", which was a sensor that alerted the driver to falling temperatures and the possibility of ice on the road. (My E36 BMW has a similar feature. I find it more annoying than useful.)
The seller has owned this car for 25 years. He states that he has never started it. It looks like it might have been in the same (outside) place for all of those 25 years.
If you're really, really brave, this car could be restored. More likely it's best use is as a parts car to keep another 3500S alive.

1955 P4 90 - I have never seen one of these in person. I suspect that there are very few in the US.According to the seller, this car came to the US in 1960 when its owner immigrated here. She drove it until 1974 when, after the fuel pump quit, she parked it in a shed.
This car looks like it's complete and not in terrible shape. There doesn't seem to be a ton of rust and the interior looks like it's in remarkable condition for 56 year old car that has spent the last 37 years in a shed.
This is a car that should be restored and brought to shows.
