I was never aware that four cylinder P6s had power steering, or different gear ratios, and I could never understand why overdrive was never offered. But the P6 was a victim of it's own success wasn't it? Why bring in changes when you're selling all you can make? What would have happened if it had been a success in the USA, how could they have increased production?
No they didn't have power steering
Gear ratios were found on the rally gearboxes
Overdrive wasn't offered as they couldn't sort the vibration issues
As for increasing production; they did. They built locally in New Zealand for the Aust/NZ market for example. However, that still relied on base units being built in the UK and then shipped across.
