Seen at Dudmaston Hall in Shropshire. Apparently the last P6?

There were those who preferred the P6 to the SD1 (I was one of them), though the SD1 brought with it some good improvements to the engine and gearbox (Plus more space in the boot). If it is the last, I'm glad it's still about. I wonder how other last production examples are out there

I know the last MGB and BGT are still about (I'm pretty sure they were preserved from new) but I'm thinking more of your Marina/Ital or Cortina.

I'm now privately squawking with pleasure at the sight of both a coachbuilt version of the best-looking van ever created
and a forward control Landie on the same web page at the same time!
I couldn't be more tickled if I had spent the whole day wrestling in strawberry jam with Linda Lusardi and Anna Friel.
Thanks for sharing these, Terry.
R6 eh? They used to be about in fair quantities until one day in the mid to late '90s they all disappeared. Naturally, since I've been skiving in the house all day, I haven't seen any R6s but have this picture of a good example, borrowed from the ever amusing Barry Boys forum:
I'm not sure, but could that be a little less cute than an unmodified one?

I can think of one that does, it also has five letters and also begins with
m and ends with
e.
Only those crazy French would have a word that means both ugly and rotten!

I saw a black Austin A50 (Could have been an A40) parked outside Wilmorewil, the plumbers' merchants, yesterday. Looked in good order.
