Haven't been on here for a while ....

... But thought I'd say hello and post a few pictures up of the classic I've been using this summer but now looking to sell as I still have my Stag but wanted a classic to use this summer. I got this off of one of the partners at my MOT garage as my dad had Rover V8's when I was a kid

It has only done just over 65k miles (had 64k when I got it) and has a lovely history in that it was built for a manager or director at Rover and is a factory registered car as is has an ".XC" registration.

I have an original bill of sale from 1975 also and every mot also plus original workshop manuals, toolkit and Jack etc etc

I won't go on about it but if anyone wants more info please send me a PM







Thanks

Darren

ps - I'd happily swap it for a nice stag also

Beautiful Darren,

i had had two of these a 71 and a 73 but both autos, just loved the engine and the power of the car, out on their own in performance in those days
i keep looking to buy another but with 3 land rovers now of various types and the Stag my wife would probably get a little upset!
good to hear from you

[m9fdb]

I'll have to drop by in it Mike you can have a proper look at it then - it would make a great stable mate for your stag

[mike@thenook]

Oh don't tempt me!
I think to be honest it would have to have a full length webasto...

That is the best justification for modern squirty goo or spacesaver spare wheels. I understand why Rover offered the external mount but what an aberration. Despite that it's a nice car especially in Zircon blue and very undervalued.

Great looking car..my Dad a new one in 1971 in the same colour tobacco leaf..it was a 2000TC though.
I made him take the hub caps off because that is what the police did with the motorway cars.They did that because under speedy acceleration they would lose the trims,apparantly..anyway as a 13 year old petrol head I thought it looked cool on ours..
He then went on to a beautiful dark green 3500 auto and after that came the Sd1's one of the very first 3500 and then a Vitesse..his last company car was a white Daimler Sovereign in 1982..

What a lovely car and super photos of it too. I have never had a P6 but I did have an SD1 V8 for a few years a while ago.

Cheers for the kind comments

Mike if it had a webasto I'd be keeping it and selling the stag I think

Brian I wish I had of taken pictures of the Tahiti blue stag in the same location before I sold it to you
