tend to agree more often hidden away slowly rotting or or sorn or simply not registered as been off road so long. maybe we can organise something with media such as TV programs which tend to get watched by many and word passes along to effect of an..competition win a free full rework for a rover P6 or if already in decent nick free service or upgrades ? e.g. new wheels tyres . have it shown on programs such as wheeler dealers or car SOS ? magazines etc parts suppliers .clubs etc to chip in to fund . add in a free holiday ? maybe a bit of free advertising etc form sponsors and so on . thus getting a package that anybody seeing whom knows anybody whom has an old rover tucked away ..can be persuaded to enter . all entries £2 to help cover admin and advertising.
hope fully if it can get enough funding and push form media and clubs ..it can generate self growth e.g. more it gets know about .more sponsors will want to see their name and or product associated with it. article can be written in say Classic car buyer ? have to allow maybe a full 10-12 months to get it sorted and prizes set up.
given enough oomph its can do well. possibly we can add in any funding over ? given to charity . maybe even contact palace to participate ? e.g. half of entry fee going to charity of Prince of wales choice . see if he can be persuaded to meet winner ? after all he did learn to drive in a P6 .
throw in a trip to say police car museum? they like to get good publicity too I am sure.
so lots of potential but the hard part... getting a small group together whom have access to media and other areas such as classic car clubs. fetes , shows . so it can get publicity and sponsors. more famous we get involved . more chance it has . imagine say david Beckham having a drive in one ? see a few circuit s or a short road trip driving it ? arrange for private pics and viewing areas bit like at NEC ? and you start to have a winner.
Ok so pigs might fly ..but wasn't it at least a possibility? all we need is somebody famous or with lots of dosh..er who's that guy who advertises tip for bumper waxing on TV using a blue rover P6 ? anybody else are to throw in suggestions?
classicalgreen:- you definitely have a way with words, an interesting post, but I did not fully understand what you meant?
Could you please condense your rant into fewer words, for us old folks...
