1976 Rover P6 V8 | Monmouth, Monmouthshire

A 1976 Rover P6 V8, the executive saloon with an aluminium 3.5-litre V8 and four-wheel disc brakes. It won the first European Car of the Year award in 1964, and the 3500 went on to serve with British police forces from 1973 to 1987. This car served as a Metropolitan Police area car with the call sign Zulu 6, working out of Epsom ZP. It is blue with a black interior and remains as it was in service, in excellent condition. The two-tone sounders, Winkworth Bell spotlights and blue light all work, and the V8 has a rich, full note. That suits period police and government scenes in film, television and advertising, with the equipment already fitted. Its 1970s saloon profile gives photography, music video and editorial shoots a clear period backdrop, and its size offers formal arrivals and events a restrained alternative to a limousine. It also makes a distinctive wedding or birthday car. The car is based in Monmouthshire.
