grogee Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Godspeed! I hail from your bailiwick, and now live near Coventry. When I was a young man, I used to be able to do the whole 4 hours without needing a piss, let alone a poo. Those days are long gone. I think/hope you're collecting a Rover 45.

montytom Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 So after taking the photo of the Mexico brown p6 we made it back from Coventry. The amount of people looking at the car was strange. Done 220 miles on less than 3/4 tank of fuel. Not bad for a 1975 2200sc. A little bit on why I got this specific p6. When I was a nipper my dad had a 2000sc in Mexico brown. I spent a lot of time in that car getting ferried to hospital appointments (I wasn't a well child) Also I can remember my mother and her friend and I walking home from the shop and my dad driving past. He didn't stop. I also remember the tape Speedo. His one also had pink filler in the rear door. I originally wanted something tax exempt and also looked at marinas and the like. I decided on a p6 as they are starting to appreciate in value and if I don't get another one now I never will. In the last 5 years this p6 has done about 100 miles per year. I think doing 220 miles in a few hours must have startled it as when I got home the radiator decided it was no longer for this world. I went and bought a brand new old stock one. Also I seem to have spent a lot of money while working buying bits for this car. Anyway here are some more pictures and once I have done the radiator today will hopefully go for a little drive. privatewire, Coprolalia, Shite Ron and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Lovely! I saw this for sale when it was listed a bit earlier along side a Humber super snipe I think. I did ask a question but got no reply. Same price and same vendor I think. IIRC the interior is called “box pleat” and was part of a later revision to address concerns about lack of rear leg room- pragmatic BL solution- make the front seats thinner. montytom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Saw this in my searches too. Was quite tempted but if I go P6, it'll have to be full fat V8 to justify the other expenditures they often require. montytom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
