SUMMARY:
The V5C with the Rover confirms it was registered on 1st September 1973 and purchased by the owner on 12th August 1979 – nearly 46 years ago. A Tax Disc that expired on 31st January 1987 would indicate this was the last time the P6 was on the road and a 1985 Ordnance Survey Road Atlas on the passenger seat would appear to support this.
Under the layers of dust lurks a vinyl roof while a period radio, Lucas auxiliary lights and (a Berlinetta favourite) “Speedblade” wipers complete the 1970s vibe.
Though needing restoration, the Rover appears to be virtually complete; as far as we could tell it is just missing three wings, though these may yet come to light before the auction closes so do keep checking back in. A couple of spare boot lids (one with the rare 'Continental Kit' external spare wheel fitment), bonnet, rear scuttle panel, bonnet slam panel, hub caps, grill and instrument cluster are included in the sale.
