1971 Rover P6 2000 SC Auto Project
Hi and welcome to the listing for my 1971 Rover P6.
I've made the difficult decision to let this one go as I have too many cars and will probably not get round to sorting this one for a while.
Finished in Davos White with Toledo Red interior.
Last driven in August when it completed at 330 mile-journey! It ran and drove well but now has an intermittent starting issue. Ignition lights come on but it will not turn-over for some reason... I had this problem on a previous P6, could be a simple fix for someone?
It also seems to have lost brake pedal resistance so this will want looking at. There is an exhaust blow at the manifold which makes it quite loud.
Bodywork and paintwork is presentable (from afar) but I would describe the paintwork as poor. It looks to have been given a quick blow over at some point so is quite flat and orange peely. It might be that you can get this looking a bit better with a wet & dry sand and/ or thinners and a good buff.
The interior is one of the car's best features as the seats have been reupholstered and show barely any wear at all. New carpets have also been fitted so it all looks very presentable and is a nice place to be. Lights and fuel/ temp gauges work.
It is generally quite a solid thing, especially for its age, however there is some corrosion - the worst being a hole in the driver's floor/ arch which will want repairing at some point (see picture).
Comes with a pretty amazing history file including: original bill of sale, owners manual, a large quantity of invoices and receipts for servicing and work done over the years (even dating back to the 70s and 80s!), old MOT certificates.
Historic vehicle so MOT/ tax exempt.
Selling as a project/ spares or repairs which will obviously require trailering away due to the above issues mentioned.
I can assist with delivery for a reasonable cost once the car has been paid for.
Any questions, feel free to send me a message.
Thanks for looking.
