1962 Rover 100 Winter Driver: The Banker’s Sedan Keith Trusts When Weather Turns

This 1962 Rover 100 looks like a banker’s car inside, but Keith uses it as his winter workhorse. You’ll get a full walk-around and learn the hands-on fixes that brought it back after a piston failure. Keith’s 1962 Rover 100 is a rare British sedan with real wood trim, Viking badges, and the kind of quirks you either learn to love or learn to avoid. Keith trusts it as a winter workhorse, and you’ll see why he keeps using it instead of treating it like a garage piece. You’ll hear the intake-over-exhaust engine story and how a piston failure led to a higher-compression P5 swap rated at about 115 horsepower. Keith also shows you the hands-on fix that made it drive right again, including shaving the flywheel by one eighth of an inch so the clutch releases properly. Along the way, you’ll see the smart changes that make ownership easier, like swapping the original muffler-style air cleaner for a service-friendly filter, plus the real 14 to 17 mpg reality. Inside, you’ll catch the details that make the Rover feel like a quiet-status car, from the shepherd’s crook handbrake to the push-button gauge that flips from fuel level to oil pan level on the move. Stick around for the small moments, because this Rover proves a practical classic still knows how to earn your trust when the weather turns.
