As I’m travelling less and less to Cape Town and my car needs to be used, I’m going to sell it. The market there is very small as the P6 was never a big seller, so I doubt it’ll fetch very much. But the alternative is to sell it remotely, from Norway, to a prospective, remote, U.K. buyer, and sight unseen at that, and the idea of that is daunting. So the main question is, how desireable would a never-rusted, never-welded 1974 S.A. car with some 1971 engineering and minor blemishes be on the U.K. market where they’re otherwise plentiful?
I know it’ll depend on condition and originality. But it’ll be rare in this S.A. Rover factory shade, some local content to the interior and the general flavour and looks of it. Excuse the boot lid badge, which was committed before our time (2008). Oh, and it has since these were taken (2014-15) gained a roof aerial.
Some specs:
Not a lot of recorded service history, but all kinds of jobs done and regularly serviced by our aficionado friend with 50 years of P6 experience.
PAS
95000 kms recorded
Engine reportedly rebuilt before 2008 (73000 kms)
Crane fast-road cam
Ignitor module and sports filters
HIF6s rebuilt using Burlen parts
Gearbox properly rebuilt 2015
Golf II door mirrors, internally adjustable (popular there)
Full suspension revision, rebushing (not PU)
Full brake system revision
Electric twin rad fan arrangement
Recent Koni Classic front, good OEM HD rear shocks
Drives, stops and pulls really well.
A couple of dings acquired by dad, repaired and panels resprayed
I dunno. Waiting for fresh photos. What say people? A non-starter?
