Description
The Rover 2000 P6 was launched in 1963 and won car of the year as well as awards for safety and design, thanks to innovative features such as all-round disc brakes and panels which bolted to a frame like the Citroen DS. The TC version arrived in 1966, with 115mph top speed and 20bhp more than the standard 2000. The P6 has been under-valued for years and it is still possible to buy one for less than the price of a comparable Morris Minor but prices are finally starting to rise.
This car is a 1973 Rover P6 2000 TC in its original colour of Tobacco Leaf. It has had just one owner from new (V5 shows one previous due to a cherished number plate transfer) and was originally registered "CAD 2" from new. It was off the road from 1988 until last year when more than ?6500 was spent on refurbishment work including a replacement engine, welding to the base unit, a complete brake overhaul with new calipers, new tyres and various other new parts. The mileage reading is 1, 300 but a replacement speedometer was fitted in 1988. The total mileage is just 54, 000. It runs and drives well but the paint-work is average with various marks, scrapes and areas of surface rust although it would be straightforward to improve as there are no major repairs required.
If you are looking for a solid P6 to use or improve, this car offers great value for money. There are however various minor jobs required to make it excellent and it is not up to the standard of those we have offered recently, hence the price. It comes with the original dealer pack, passport to service and various bills and old MOT's going right back to when it was new. MOT and tax exempt. MOT?d until April 2019.
