I was trying to find out some info for the P6 50th Anniversary next year. The P6 Club http://www.p6club.com/node/328 says it's 14-17th June 2013. However, does anyone have anything on where any event/s are being held and who is organising please?
 
The Rover P6 Club site http://www.p6club.com/node/328 now has the dates for the 50th P6 anniversary event as
Start: 28/06/2013 - 12:00
End: 30/06/2013 - 18:00

I think it was previously pencilled in for 14-17 June? Does anyone know if a venue has been set yet and are the dates finalised? I was hoping to attend but my work/domestic situation means that I need to book summer leave well in advance.

Is the RP6C even the only 50th Anniversary gathering or are any others planned??
 
It's a joint event The Rover P6 Club and The Rover Sports Register 28th to 30th June 2013
The main event is at Coughton Court in Warwickshire but their are other attractions organised ie a road run and a trip to Gaydon. This is the main rally for 2013.
Their is of course other shows throughout the year, Event City ,Manchester in April, Beamish in May and I'm sure some down south and some further North in your neck of the woods.
 
Hi Chaps

Not quite true to say the main event is Coughton Court.

If we succeed in our discussions with Gaydon, then the main P6 50th celebration will be there on the Saturday. The Sunday event at Coughton then being "simply" a National Rally for both the RSR and the RP6C, albeit with lots of added extras! Until Gaydon have decided what they can and can't achieve we're a tad stuck for hitting the max publicity button. If they were unable to do much at all then we would indeed transfer the 50th celebrations to Coughton. We're hoping to have everything resolved by the end of January.

Either way it promises to be an absolutely stonking weekend!

The members of the P6 Rover Owners Club have been officially invited to this event.

Does anyone have any further updates on exactly what (when and where) Rover P6 50th Anniversary events are confirmed and how to register please?
 
Oh yes, please !
(Especially the "where" would be nice to know exactly so as too book accommodation within walking distance :D )

Currently around 130 cars booked in for Coughton Court, of which, at last count, 52 are P6's. Likely to be a 300+ car event, and organisation has been more involved than any show I've been involved with in the past.

The main event is the Sunday, with roadruns/driving tests on the Saturday, some at Gaydon. At this stage it's unlikely that Gaydon are going to be putting out any of the cars in the museum, despite best attempts at mediation from very prominent people (e.g. James Taylor).
