My 3500S was lunar grey, black leather, and no sunroof.
Miss her greatly, but 2.5 XM more than makes up for it - and no rust worries (I have seen to that).
If you fancy a lunar grey Rover P6, of the more sedate variety, to go back to your roots Chris, for pootling around Shropshire on your return, Mathewsons have this coming up at their March Sale. Looks top condition but with a higher than average estimate for the usual P6's going through auction. More garish interior than your black leather!

Bit of an earlier one than Zel is considering, 10 years its junior, and arguably more desirable in the headlights department, but an insight in the sales particulars of where the word Limousine comes from for the trivia lover.

Hands up if you knew already....

Not short of pictures and information :-D

Liked the pen and ink and handwriting on the MOT. Suggests a careful pedantic record keeper-ing type of previous owner who looked after his vehicles :-D Free Haynes Manual too :-D Dont know if I have seen a "Pass with Defects" certificate before. :?: Advisories yes.

I had one of those a 2.4 semi automatic in a creamy beige colour, got stuck at the roadside outside a car auction, the hydraulic pipes across the front chassis had rubbed together and let the oil out.

Now here is a car which will attract certain people's interest, especially if they have recently moved to the UK and need something to do!! It is being sold in a general sale rather than a motor auction so is likely to go under the radar of many car buyers!! :-D
