1974 Rover P6 V8 | Monmouth, Monmouthshire

A 1974 Rover P6 V8, the V8-engined version of Rover's executive saloon. It is known for its aluminium 3.5-litre engine, four-wheel disc brakes and a calm, businesslike shape. The P6 won the first European Car of the Year award in 1964, and the V8 went on to serve in British police fleets. This car is white with a black interior, in good condition. It worked as a police car and still wears its stripes, with sirens and lights fitted, so it reads as a 1970s patrol saloon straight away. The cabin is roomy, with space for passengers to sit comfortably in shot. Period police and government scenes for film and TV suit it well, as the livery does the scene setting. Photographers and fashion and editorial teams get a clean white body against a black interior, and the upright profile keeps the lines clear. Weddings and personal hires work too, as a restrained alternative to a limousine. The car is based in Monmouthshire.
