I had a 1966 P6 2000 SC with cream leather, i can still recall how that car smelled  8-)
That too had a tape speedo, i never new exactly how fast i was going, because it would wave about  :-/
Bloody good car though, one of many Rover's that iv'e owned through out my driving history.

Yeh, had a 2.2 TC too, that was cream velour & a deep red solid colour, swapped it for a Tobacco leaf brown V8 P6 auto with black leather (lost me virginty in that car).  8-)
I allways wanted an SD1 & eventually bought one in Chocolate brown (typical 70's colour) another V8 & that was the start of many Rovers, still have one (my Coupe Vitty)

If you thought the 2.2 sounded nice then you should try the V8
Bestest sound ever, had a V8 Auto for a long time but used more fuel that any Omega.
I used to like the side light indicators on the top of the lights, at night.
Lovely comfy car, as good as many today but without the complications, except for the rear brakes.

They where very fragile, because they could brake off when you where washing it, every one i saw was missing them (bloody good idea though)

I will get shouted at I know but I quite like the 800 series as well, a hell of a lot of car for very very little money.
Had a 2.7 Auto for a couple of years, did mega mileage in it fast, comfy and competent on the road. Bought a 2.0L one bit of a dissapointment, crappy montego gearbox.

I was hired a facelift 827 sterling by work to go on a business trip to Telford many years ago when they first came out (they'd run out of escrots, it seems). I remember a certain amount of "honing" of my skills on that journey, to coin a phrase, and on the M54, as it happens. [smiley=evil.gif]

All the way up to 70 They certainly were fast, the Police used to use them, a pity they never did an estate, I think not doing estates throughout their 'executive' market range ( P6 SD1 800) helped to kill them off, Volvo estates took off for the family minded executive. imho

Can't believe that no one has mentioned the 'Clutch and Manual Gearbox'.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.
