my dad loved cars and when this car launched ‘63 there was a huge waiting list and he didn’t get his pristine white P6 with red leather interior until 1965 - as a young schoolboy it was fantastic, like a spaceship after the pudding shaped ‘Auntie’ P4😅 Then in the early 70s dad got a stunningly beautiful dark blue (plus blue-green tinted windows) with gorgeous grey upholstery Triumph 2.5PI auto - I absolutely loved that car, even more than the P6!

Wonderful machine - had the exact same in 1976 - loved the colour

Having owned a Mexico Brown 2000TC in the 80s, I can honestly say one of the very best cars ever put on tarmac. I broke up a scrap one for spares, taking it down to the frame onto which everything was bolted. A great way to see how this masterclass of engineering was designed. Still plenty about today, which says a lot about the quality. Love the channel.

One of the most iconic British cars and more upmarket than a Cortina.

SUPERB EXAMPLE, AND THAT PAPRIKA  PAINT REALY DOES IT JUSTICE  !

Clunk Trst is definitely a 10 ! Lovely car.

Still stylish after all the years 😊

You should never slam the boot on your P6, just lower it down and then press. Just a bit of advice I got back in the seventies from a Rover dealer 😀👍

That colour is amazing ! Never got this model in australia, The P6B 3500s were plentiful, my dad had 1 had I had 3! Ours were mostly New Zealand assembled from CKDs, and you could buy a new one right up until 1980!. Still look amazing and stylish. There were also many imported from UK direct, often with leather seats. Being such a classy car, most were fitted with AC units by the dealer.

How weird that one just passed me on the way home. Chocolate brown and even by todays standard, still looks quite the beast

Nice p6 like the colour. I have a v8 p6 in monza red. Ive owned five. So you could say,i like p6's.

Lovely appraisal of a wonderful car! Cheers for posting 👏👍

I love that colour. I had a Almond 2200tc, great car

Mk2 V8 was an incredible car, used by several
Police force regions as a motorway pursuit vehicle

The 2200 is the one to have and that colour Paprika looks great. The auto is the one for me too. I reckon £6K gets a good one, I wish I had room as I have an 800 Sterling and a Rover 75.

Why is the Rover underrated? Simply, the mentality and demands of motorists of the time. The same mentality is even more present today. When I first saw the original 2000 in the early 60's, I was in love with that car. It was true compact luxury for those who could not afford the much more expensive luxury cars. However, most people at the time, as today can not see true luxury, even if they trip over it. Most motorist will go for what others want and say is better. In many cases, that want is the power and status of speed and performance. I remember the Triumph 2000 appearing, and the peoples choice favouring that car. I saw the Triumph as just a faster tin can, like the Cortinabut, which was only my opinion. You see, even today, I don't recognise or associate sports cars and speed with luxury. (That also includes gadgets) If the performance in a real luxurious car is adequate, then I am happy to sit back and enjoy a comfortable ride without the competitiveness of a few extra miles of speed. I have learnt, that it is not how fast your car can go but how you handle it and use it to all it's full advantages. Marketing today blows people's needs versus wants out of the water. That's why branded ripped jeans sell for more than others. Speed and sport badges legitimises our cars today. Even the common box is labelled a SUV. And all the most prestigious luxury brand names of the past,are now selling boxes. And that is because, people just want what others want. The Rover P6 2000 with its 4 cylinder engine, has always in my mind, has always been one of my favourite classic compact luxury cars.

Awesome motor the  rover p6 my personal favourite classic car enjoyed the review keep the vlogs coming….

Great car. But as of today (9th July 2026). MOT ran out last month, hope it is to return to the roads. I had one, well two in fact in my youth. One I was using and a doner car in my drive. I ended up with a blue body and four white wings! It is only now I've ever heard the term P6. I always knew them as Rover 2000. I had a twin carb model. Beautiful car.

I’ve owned the 2000 the 2200 and two V8s the 4 pots weren’t kept for long (I used to move cars on if offered a profit) the two V8s I kept for longer the first one cost me £60 in 1986 the second one was much dearer at £125 with overheating problems (water pump impeller fell off the shaft) it had tints, leather,PAS, Denovo tyres and a full length Webasto roof, what a car for that money but no one wanted them because of the fuel consumption 15-17 mpg !

Hi I've purchased this car when i was at a classic car meet on canvey island very pleased with it cant find any rust in the usual places needs headlights upgraded very very pleased will be taking it to many classic car shows thankyou
