Maybe it would be possible to do a bit of DIY in order to fit the spare on the boot without the factory engineered hole?
My understanding is that this feature was deleted by the factory after 1973. Boot lids fitted with the kit prior to this was random, and as mentioned above, not all were fitted.

justinus said:It all sounds like too much trouble and to be honest if I did end up owning a P6 without the boot mount option I would probably leave it as god intended and not meddle with it as I'd only balls it up!
KeesB said:Why would you bother fitting the spare on the outside? It spoils the beautiful lines of the P6 and you can´t see in the rearview mirror.
The spare of mine is in the boot and I have been on holiday in England with the P6 several times already with 2 adults and 2 children (14 and 16) and all luggage in the boot .
Just my two cents :roll:

Each to their own & we're all better for it - I personally have never liked them - & the boot's not that small.... :?ghce said:I love the look of a boot mounted spare wheel, Graeme
I couldn't agree more Graeme, it finishes the cars look off beautifully and makes it look like your off on a world tour! I think my butt in a pair of Levi jeans looks like the back end of a P6 without the spare mounted !!ghce said:I love the look of a boot mounted spare wheel, just one more thing that a P6 has that other cars don't, somewhat reminiscent of the more vintage era of cars, personally I think the boot end of a P6 is a little weak looking in the styling department and it needs something to take away the bland styling lines so either the spare wheel or some thing else such as Chris York's Boot mounted Jag brake lights.
