Yes but then came T4 turbine-front wheel drive did 150mph on test track  This is nearest for runner to P6-bodywise

Never seen that one before!

It looks rather appealing for the 1970s market, or even for a later one.  Shame it never came into production.

Was that down to technical problems with the turbine?

[Lizzie_Zoom]

you can see how rear is very similar between T4 and P6
T4
 
P6 -ok its mine but see what I mean

They are similar!

That was early then!   I should have guessed from it's pre-1963 reg.

Now that would be some car; A Rover Vulcan Jet!

If you go to Gaydon Heritage Museum they have T4 there and several other rover turbine cars

You do wonder Symes why Rover, after developing and testing turbine Rovers since 1950, didn't go for a full production version.

Apart from land speed record cars, is there a turbine road car out there?

[symes]

Chrysler made A load 1962-1964 but consumption was an issue so here you go 1962 Turbine

Very ugly car, but I love the turbine principle. 

As ugly as this Ford Edsel

I've started to quite like the Edsel .......... they're that ugly, they're good looking!

Sorry EMD but whenever I see "Viva's" I think rust.............lots of it in the wings.......everywhere.

I know many would argue that, but I did see so many like it when I drove around in my gleaming new Ford Escort Mk1 in 1972.
