    Hey guys just to say that later in the video where we got that red 3500S running that is not the right way to do things we knew the engine was dead before we started it and really we just got it going for fun as the new owner was going to bare shell restore the car anyway and replace the engine but I just wanted to say don't do what we did on your project car!

    Amazing collection of P6's i can understand the emotional attachment to cars as having to wait patiently till the end of June for my next one.

    Once went over there for a look in from the road but these were nearly all clearly visible from the train.

    I just wish the bloke had settled for the VIP & the estate, even if the latter was still savable. They were both quite distinguishable, stood out in a crowd, so didn't really need the comparatively more standard P6s.

      Is it a Stag? Looks like a TR5 or 6...cool car either way. The one at the back looks like a Jag Mk2, can't see the Austin tho.

    Can you please elaborate a little? This video removing the cars from the deceased man's house....is it years old or is it current? You mentioned somewhere that the station wagon was now restored so I am confused. Sorry to not understand but I would like to really know the timeframe.

      The rover estate in its prime at 42:10 and what it looks like now at 42:23, now owned a rover enthusiast, been restored.

    It always angers me wen i c wat cars rover and the uk used to make wen u compare them to the last rovers we made there is just 0 comparison these p6 rovers were so ahead of there time and gorgeous to drive u would have thought with all the advances in tooling and technology rover could of been world leaders in car production but all that was saved was the mini!!!!and landrover!! The rest binned and rightly so such a criminal crazy waiste of a once epic car manufacturer
