I would have had the yellow SD1, but it seems to be missing a windscreen and a headlight!

Now the blue P6 (flared arches) is a replica of one that Rover did race in the 60s. It was powered by a Traco Oldsmobile engine. The last I heard of it it was in Australia (it did go to Oz in the 60s and somewhere I have an article about the car headlined 'Smithy has a new Rover'.

If memory serves me correctly it was owned by a guy called Rob Harrison and he was looking for a Traco Oldsmobile engine to replace the Rover engine that had subsequently been fitted.

And what about the Rover BRM gas turbine of 64/65? that was entered for Le Mans.

There were also the 60s P6 rally cars KUE1 to 4.

And going back to the 50s the Marauder sports car based on the P4 behind which was a few Rover people.

If you wanted a genuine Works Rally P6, the Rover-BRM Gas Turbine car and a P4 based Maurauder, all you had to do was ask . . .
