This is the Rover P6 Club National Rally. Judging by the entries coming in this will be the largest show we've ever had (Beamish ran close to the attendance at Cosford in 2002). Be there or be square!

I echo everyone's comments - absolutely crackin' day out, and what a bunch of really friendly people too, which is nice to see (this was my first P6Club show). I've been to other events organised by other clubs/organisations which haven't been so accomodating!

here's a few pics from my album!

I rather liked Nick Dunning's elderly 2000 - had to take a some pics of the engine bay, quite different from the later cars

Nice tidy interior Nick, I can't make my mind up about mango though ...... but tidy all the same

That's not certainly not Mango (although it's a close colour) - it's the original London Tan (as it's sometimes named) or just Tan, as it's described in the early brochures. Note the co-ordinating carpets - the reason I couldn't resist buying the car back in 2005.

This is from the Autumn 1964 'Colour Magazine Of The Rover' booklet.

Rover standardised the headliners and carpets colours in 1966, a great shame (I would, incidentally, murder for an absolutely mint driver's side carpet!)

The absolutely beautiful other 1964 car there is certainly non-standard/special order in being Copperleaf with a red interior. Looks fab though. Certainly a lot better than a City Grey/Grey interior (which was, apparently, available - I've never seen one!)


Cheers
Nick

Looks like Paul (testrider) and brip6rover here looking at Bri's rather tasty V8

If memory serves this is 2453kevinowen's 2000TC, he didn't manage to finish putting her together for Malvern, but did manage it for Beamish, after a 30 mile test drive he put his faith in his work and drove the hundreds of miles round trip to Beamish - fair play Kevin, and good to meet you at last (hope I got the right car!)

Yes that is my car. It was nice to meet you and other members, I was impressed by the quality of the finish you have achieved with the woollies kit on your seats. I really enjoyed the show with a great line up of cars and a great location. The car did the round trip with no problems. I would like to thank Mark Gray on giving me the insurance valuation and some great advice and tips. 8)


The Beamish museum was a superb place to visit too, including an old fashioned garage, even Pilkie's garage wont have room for this engine crane

Lots more photos, including those of the museum itself on my Photobucket Site

Thanks Mark, you really know how to make a guy feel good about missing an event
My entry for the Annual Rally in Sep is in the post .

Well mate I'm sorry you missed this superb event at this superb venue, but we'll look forward to seing you at the RP6C National Rally 2010 at Rugeley on September 26th, if not before at one of the Joint Rover Clubs events.

By the way, the long awaited RP6C Grille Badge has arrived albeit a week late for Beamish, but its here and if you would like one, you find all the details at http://newsite.p6club.com/node/32

Once again a very big thank you to Janet and the boys in the north east for organising an absolutely superb event at a superb venue.

That looks like it was a great event. I'm absolutely gutted I missed that, and Beamish is only a short drive from where I live! Unfortunately I was moving home on the Monday so was up to my eyes in last minute packing :cry: ..
