I was watching "Shadows in Paradise" (again) from my Aki Kaurismäki dvd (very oldfashioned, i know) collection yesterday, and had totally forgotten the P6 that stars in the film!
Don't know if the blue colour is original (have never seen this shade).
Great story, great film and the main character clearly loves his 2200 TC. And: beautifully shot in a gloomy Helsinki. Highly recommended!

Had a great time in 1971 driving the P6B in Finland from North to south, having driven up through Norway over the top of Sweden. Had a problem when the voltage regulator failed near Tornio but managed to keep it going to Oulo where therre was a Rover (well Leyland) dealer. Of course I spoke no Finnish and they no English but there was a telephone translation service which helped communications. Took a day for the part to arrive and all was good again. Have had a couple of alternator rebuilds since then (with Bosch) and actually replaced the alternator with an 85 amp unit a couple of months ago.

Fond memories of Finland
