Acquired a 1 Owner Rover P6 V8S and a Colt Starion Turbo..!!

[CRA1G]

I have just acquired two cars both owned by the same family and same address from new..!! One is a 1974 Rover P6 V8S Manual 109,000 miles FSH [50 STAMPS]
Been garaged since late 2004,Starts up and seems to be very tidy all round with the original bill of sale.



And the other is a 1985 Colt Starion Turbo Manual 52,000 miles FSH [18 STAMPS] With a MOT Till April next year,seems very original but the Leather is a bit worn,



I Have know idea what there value will be and the best way to dispose of them as they both need too end up in the rigth hands for future enjoyment..!! any ideas....????

sorry, couldn't resist.

I'd say google the owners clubs, and post on their forums

I might be wrong but a rover v8 manual p6 is maybe a rarer car.

Not wouldn't be sure about rarer. I see V8S Rovers pretty regularly, and can't think when I last saw a Starion turbo.

Oh I'm sure you're right about absolute numbers, but I know there is a strong p6 fan base, and I was assuming that most were sold as auto's - hence my guess that the manual is relatively rare.

Someone will know

3500S is rarer than the auto, but a one owner one is certainley a rare thing to find....... nice colour too

Starion is certainley a rare car nowadays too.

[LS6wetdream]

the starion is more desirable to me however it doesn't look like a wide boy/body version and therefore less desirable, but i'd still have it i guess

Lovely colour, paprika I had one exactly the same, put it through a traffic island/lamp post racing a 350SL in my youth. (he didnt win he ended up parked in a volvo) Still lust after another now my drivings improved a bit

[BLUETHUNDER]

Both now gone to good homes and should be around for many more years to come.!
