I have a Rover P6 V8 Auto and I am based in Cambridge. I bought the car "blind" from Ebay two years ago and completely trusted the sellers description. When I went to pick up the car, the sellers condition was pretty accurate, so I paid the balance and drove her back up to Cambridge. Over the past two years I have found out much of the car's history and I wrote to every single previous owner in the hope that they would still be around and that they could further me with more information. I had a few replies but the best one was when I discovered that when the car was first built (registered 1974) it was originally Tobacco Leaf with a brown interior, but an enthusiast changed her completely to a white body and installed black boxed leather seats. This was not a general respray, but a full body colour change. I have seen inside the panels and these are the same colour as the outside. The seats are gorgeous and very comfortable. She must have looked absolutely stunning when this work was done. Over the years, the car was exchanged by several owners and the milage had been kept down, with the bodywork and interior maintained. The engine, from the first day I bought her, however had a loud ticking noise and she was in need of a good service.
I have tried to put up some pics, but unfortunately at the moment the size of each image is too large to upload.
Her registration number is RXY 165M and she is nicknamed Roxy and proving to be an expensive lady to maintain!
