Description
Rover P6 2000 SC manual series one, finished in Brigade Red Built 10th February 1969 and despatched to W. Holloway & Sons of Worcester. The car was registered on the 1st March to a Mr a Bridge of Hanley Castle. The car has had serious restoration work twice, first in the early 1990’s it had a panels off glass out restoration when over £8, 000 was spent, over double the cars value at that time ! The car was disassembled and sent to Rovers Return in Rochdale. Much of this work was carried out by a Jaguar/ Land Rover engineer, whose father owned the car and had worked on the original chassis design for the P6. The engine was rebuilt and the interior finished by a Jaguar/ Land rover upholsterer. The second restoration took place in 2013. There is a link for video on youtube just after its second restoration on my web site. The car has also featured in a TV program in the late 1980's involving Rowan Atkinson.
More recently the car has had some cosmetic paintwork, engine detailed while out for a new clutch and slave cylinder fitting. Other recent expenditure includes a new old stock front bumper and re-chromed rear bumper the car, boot interior re-trim, new radiator, series 2 header tank, new Unipart washer bottle & pump, new front and rear matching seat belts ( original Irvin are with the car ). The car has some nice and useful upgrades a vintage Securon high-level brake light, Lucas square 8 fog lights with covers and original Unipart radio, it also has a factory heated rear screen and hazard lights, even the Kienzle clock keeps perfect time.
The car comes with a large file of paper work, books, Heritage certificate, jack and wheel brace and two sets of keys. Overall a very nice and well sorted series one P6, one of the nicest I have seen in a while.
