Granadaland Gets Greenhouse Gassed Again - Caution: P6 content! Car runs! ish

[Junkman]

In their relentless quest to improve The Climate, the Granadaland Greenhouse Gassers have taken in yet another gadder.

This bumps the overall Rover cylinder count up to 24, with a total of six carburetters facilitating to turn a cheap and otherwise completely useless liquid

into warm, ambient weather with lush foliage.

 

 

 

 

[mouseflakes]

Nice. Watch out with oily mitts on that interior.

[dollywobbler]

Bumperless look. Bloody scenesters. 

 

Actually, I quite like it...

[mercrocker]

Its nearly the middle of summer and its still fecking cold.

 

GET THE SUCKERS RUNNING

[Cleon-Fonte]

Did the W124 inspire the colour choice?

 

117/6.718 for buyage. If only they still made interiors like that.

[Jim Bell]

That looks lovely. Leave the bumpers off for banger racer look.

[spartacus]

12/10 for that interior, does it have those odd shaped headrests too? My dad had one of these in roughly this colour from new, he always rates it as one of the best cars here ever had.

[Junkman]

Bumbers and other assorted tinsel is included.

Despite our valiantest efforts in this ragard, that fucking climate just doesn't bloody change!

[HMC]

Lovely!

IIRC was at one stage a (breifly) bumper less blue p6 (an early one?) part of the wobbler fleet?

[trigger]

Looks good, Suffolk registered too.

[danthecapriman]

Looks nice, that interior looks really good and comfy.

What's the plan for it? Reassembly and run as it is?

[Junkman]

As always, I hope it will be that easy, but going by past experience, I guess it won't.

I will never learn...

[richardmorris]

Great. What's going on with the grey checked centre console?

[Junkman]

What's going on with the grey checked centre console?

 

That's the infamous P6 loudspaker grille. Ask Conelrad what he thinks of it.

Ah, sorry, looked aftermarket with the v8 badge. I liked the one on the grill though!

[Bren]

Screaming for wide arches.

[Junkman]

Ah, sorry, looked aftermarket with the v8 badge.

 

Errrr - that's along the lines of what Conelrad is preaching.

 

I have a different outlook: What was good enough for Spen King, is well good enough for me.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

The P6 has a high quality interior with, as a highly visible centrepiece, the world's shittiest speaker grille. The fact that richardmorris mistook it for some aftermarket tat plucked out of the Benson & Hedges Gratis catalogue says it all.

[dollywobbler]

Lovely!

 

IIRC was at one stage a (breifly) bumper less blue p6 (an early one?) part of the wobbler fleet?

 

Indeed I did. I cannot find a photo of it. 

[Ghosty]

A handsome thing - I do like these in blue. Interior really sets it off.

[tinribs]

So a long blowjob for 580k. I'd say it's worth it for that interior alone. Nice catch!

[320touring]

Good man for continuing to BUY BRITISH.

Those newfangled German executive expresses will never catch on..

 

Can you just imagine- flip floppy rear headrests?hardly a patch on the the uncompromising reliability and quality you get with a Rover.

[cort16]

looks nice, what's broken on it? 

[Junkman]

I have no idea whether anything is broken, or not.

The car had been in storage for 25 years. But for the 27k miles it actually was driven, there is a FSH.

 

WCPGW?

[scruff]

Wonderful!!!!! 

[cort16]

BARN FIND

[billyboy406v6]

Hope its more reliable than that there bag of shit Merc ?

[Junkman]

I hope not!

It's English, so it must be unreliable, no?

I hate it when cars don't match the hype about them.

[billyboy406v6]

 Rover loses to Mercedes in reliability trials, shock horror exposure,  this is going viral folks.

[Skizzer]

That looks really rather lovely.  Well done.
