I can't. Because I can't think of a better suited car than a Rover P6 for anything.

For anything? Track day tool? The P6 is a bloody heavy, understeery, body-roll-y pig of a thing for stuff like that...
Lugging large loads? P6's boot is hardly enormous, even on the estates... Tough off-roading? You need a Range Rover for that...

Looks are deceiving, a P6 is not a heavy car. It may not be a Daihatsu Charade or a Mira but it certainly is the same weight as the average modern Japanese saloon cars such as my Honda Accord and has a lot more snot to boot as well. I really do not know where this perception of "big and heavy" comes from it certainly has no basis in fact!!

You've got to compare the P6 with it's counterparts of it's time plus also how well it compares to more modern equivalents
Me neither, but when you have replaced everything with modern as you regularly mention and start comparing them toEccentricRichard said:GrimV8 said:Remind me why you're on a Rover Forum again?

I like them too. Doesn't mean I'm blind to their foibles/inadequacies for certain purposes.
