A couple of 2000s going through auction

[FrazzleTC]

There are a couple of Rover 2000s going through this auction. I was particularly interested to notice the grey leather in the red '66 car. Very unusual I understand, and I've only ever seen one car at a show with a grey interior. I think it looks very classy in the P6 interior.

Good call Frazzle, I've just had a look at these from the link on the popularclassics forum... I notice the red Series 1 has a 'Factory' reg, nice. :wink:

The Grey interior was available from start of production until mid '66. It's gorgeous and I don't know why they dropped it.

The red one is the car gloriously named Rhode Island Red that I owned from 2007-2008 and was then Duncan's car.

It's done the miles - and has had a lot of welding/paint and is by no means blemish free - but is a glorious old car, excellent drive and has a great factory history (it's red, when they didn't make red 2000's). We sold it to a couple in Cambridgeshire a couple of years ago.

I'd certainly have it back for reasonable money. Superb daily driver.
