P6 Rover up for auction 31 March 2023 SURREY

The air con pump is interesting. Shame about the steering wheel and the extra vents in the carbies...It;d make an excellent start for a resto though

Shame that nothing that makes it a VIP is left, other than the aircon.

Yes. It is an extremely nice, comprehensively restored P6 (with aircon) but seeing as the VIP's were such only because of a few mainly cosmetic changes which were all done away with during the resto', it seems a bit misleading of the auction house to use that part of its history as a selling point without a proviso stating that it has now lost the very features that made it a VIP & consequently the 'rare' factor.
Still, many people in the market won't care about the VIP history & those that might can easily do a little pre-bid research into what made the cars the limited editions they were, then make their decisions from there.

It's a very nice car though & l trust it will do well at the auction. I hope it outstrips the estimate anyway.
