Couple of photo’s of some rare P6’s; one cNov 1961 Talago and the 1966 Rover/Alvis model known as Glady’s, based on a P6 chassis with a 1978cc motor in the National Motor Museum in Gaydon 🤙 Not sure if I prefer the released version or these? They're certainly different!

Welcome to the P6 Talago appreciation page. First registered in August 1962 this is believed to be the only surviving prototype of the Rover P6 that is known to exist apart from the Gas Turbine car in Gaydon which was adapted from a Talago. Rover hand-built 16 prototypes in all between February 1959 and August 1962 but the other 14 are believed to have been scrapped. This one is chassis number P6/16, the last prototype built, and is very close in appearance to the final production cars which were launched in October 1963 badged as the Rover 2000. In fact P6/16 was the first car which would accept all the final production body panels.
Initially left-hand drive it was used for high speed noise, vibration and harshness testing work on the Continent, clocking up some 150,000 miles. Pensioned off after two years, it was acquired by one of Rover’s engineering directors, Richard Fishwick, who was allowed to buy it for £50 on a part-ownership scheme whereby he could use it as personal transport but Rover retained ownership and control.
