Come on Chris, spill the beans. What do you know?
It's been restored exceedingly well, and to a high degree. The history of the car is second to none. This isn't some ringer with an original chassis number attached - as some have intimated elsewhere.
agreed. it's a lovely car I read about it a lot on Facebook. i just hope it finds the right owner. or indeed if there is a "right owner" other than the person who had it restored. P6s are pretty niche and prototypes at that end of the market are an infinitesimally small niche. I suppose technically I'd be one of the select market but I just don't want the liability TBH, I like my car as a development mule/hack. Are the clear indicators original. small point but they jar visually to me like a modern update.
When it was converted to LHD in order to undergo testing in North America, it was fitted with the round dash, and switches, previously seen on the 2000S mock-up.
The air vents are part of the original a/c system. They never made it into production.
Again, pictures from Gaydon (b&w), and from the Rover engineer who drove her (colour)
Original from the LHD conversion. Colour pictures prove this is correct.

I think for me and I was to buy a prototype for this sort of money, it would have to be something special. This car is interesting and I am sure has a fantastic history, but at the end of the day, it looks like any other P6. In a show you would walk right past it. Now if it were a Graber coupe, or a factory convertible, or an original slanty nose gas turbine car, then I see the value. Not for this one though I am afraid. It just isn't different enough for me to be worth so much more than a standard production model.
All depends on the condition.
There are several Grabers out there, ranging from in-restoration to restored. You're potentially looking at £30-80k, depending on condition
The P6 convertible is probably worth around the £30-40k mark. Older restoration, but has had work completed over the years
T4 is probably valued at around £250k
The P6 racer is around £100-150k
As with any car, it depends on your point of view. Some people like having cars that stand out, others prefer the subtle approach.
Either way, your average P6 owner really isn't the intended audience for an expensive P6.
