That's a lovely car. I bought a NADA Rover P6 a few years ago. Not a fun car to restore if you live in the US.

Very nice indeed. I've always liked the P6. Well done!

Loving the fitted boot furniture! I once saw a similar arrangement in the boot of a spotlessly preserved Wolseley 16/60 at a Bracknell Auto Sunday some years back, that car sticks in my mind not only because of its fitted boot wardrobes but because its (1968/'69 G) plate began with ROT, of which not a single flake was anywhere to be seen.

So much neater than having stuff fall about as you drive. :)

Lovely old car, especially love that bonnet gives the car an aggressive look in my opinion. Look forward to seeing more pics :D

hi she is a lot better on fuel with the 5 speed box i think on a run she does now about 25 mpg as at 70 mph she is about 2k revs
