I knew a couple with a Rover P6, (the Rover 2000 TC Mark II) which was totally immaculate. I was only early teens so early 1980's and the 20 year old car didn't ring my bell although it was in showroom condition, literally perfect in every way. I wonder what it's be worth now. It was an unfortunate brown colour though, sort of like poo. It wasn't this exact car, but the same. (Image from wikipedia.)
Having just Google Image'd Rover P6s, I will say that's quite a pretty car. Brown might not be the best colour for it though...
I think they called it runny poo brown. Remarkably popular apparently. 😁
I think it's suitable given how many diseases there were then 😅
Rover buyers are a rare breed.
They are, indeed! It takes quite a lot to become acquainted with a brand that's as unforgivingly quirky as Rover.
That just looks 'Roveresque'. Your basic shit box Dodge sedan with lots of extra trim.
Rovers were never my thing but they have quite a long history I guess. Just another manufacturer what couldn't make it work in the end. A few good ones have gone bust over the years.
Yep. From all I've heard they are just like hiring somebody to help you spend money when they break. Impossibly expensive.
I think that's the case although am not sure.
Did you guys have the Leyland P76? Every one of them had some sort of problem, only thing was is that they were all different problems and we're difficult for the factory to rectify root-causes. Was a bit of a lemon.
No, not so far as I know. Our British Leyland products were limited to Triumphs so far as I know. I owned a couple of those.
Ah ok, I think maybe it was an Australian thing. Quite a weird car with so many problems.

I liked me a good Triumph Stag. My chiropractor had one, from new. Was nice. I'd own one today, drive around Sunday's with my tweed *flat cap on, maybe a pipe in my mouth, and some of those leather driving gloves with the knuckles cut out. :)
I had a Spitfire MK1111 from new and a couple of TR-6 (Like they couldn't make a separate designation, I also owned a TR-6 motorcycle). The best of the lot was a '73- Damn thing was fast, a corvette killer.
Ah yes. The stag and the clothing required to drive one. Can you still buy the leather patches for the elbows of your tweed jacket? And Borkum Riff tobacco for the pipe?
