Welcome to The Rover P6 Club

The Rover P6 remains one of the very few Classic British cars usable daily in modern driving conditions. It is also one of the most comfortable, safe and affordable.

Launched as the Rover 2000 in 1963, the car created the executive sports saloon sector now populated by cars such as the BMW 3-series. The 3500S model of 1971, with the legendary 3.5-litre V8 engine and manual gearbox, propelled performance into the Supercar territory of the day. Even by today's standard, the V8 models are fast cars.

P6 was also the last Rover to be designed and developed by an independent Rover Company, and broke new ground in styling, safety and engineering that would lead the industry for the next decade. Power assisted disc brakes on all four wheels were fitted as standard to a radical new independent suspension, designed specifically to cure rear end slide and facilitate the use of new-fangled radial ply tyres. The ride quality is amongst the best Britain produced, and engineered crumple zones and intelligent pioneering safety features put the P6 leagues ahead of the competition. Despite this, with all of the body panels bolted onto a separate 'base unit', the cars are surprisingly easy to work on, and spares available is excellent. Production continued until 1977 by which time a remarkable 327,000 cars had been produced. Of these, only around 4,000 survive in the UK today, with about half roadworthy.

The Rover P6 Club is dedicated to supporting the owners of this exceptional and ground-breaking car in using, enjoying and maintaining their vehicles.

The Club is the only club supporting the P6 that is governed by its Members through a Committee elected by the membership. All profits are ploughed back into the Club to help promote the car's future and the members' enjoyment of their cars and its history.

Driving Force - our full colour 24-page A4 glossy magazine - is published 6 times annually, and we have a broad range of quality regalia items on offer. A technical team of highly experienced members are on hand to offer free advice and assistance to club members, and a recent copyright agreement with the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust means that we are now able to reproduce digital copies of the original Rover workshop manuals and parts catalogues for club members at a fraction of the price of a printed copy.

Please have a look around the site.

The 2013 Jubilee Rally is a celebration held jointly between the Rover P6 Club and the Rover Sports Register. We are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Rover P6, the 20th Anniversary of the Rover P6 Club and the 60th Anniversary of the Rover Sports Register. The main rally day is on the Sunday at Coughton Court and is a fabulous venue. We are expecting between 300-400 cars in total. The cars will be lined up between the avenues of trees in front of the house which is fascinating in its own right. The National Trust is even providing us with our own tea and cakes tent. Prizes will be awarded in the usual way, but there will be a special class for Dunlop braked P6s in recognition of the anniversary of the early cars.

Saturday is equally exciting and is based at Gaydon Heritage Motor Centre Museum. The museum itself will be running period newsreel and Rover Company films of the P6 throughout the day and there will be a series of country drives to enjoy in the company of other Rovers. Also at Gaydon will be a series of driving tests similar in format to an auto-test. On the Saturday night we will be hosting a 20th Anniversary dinner for the club at The Blue Boar, Temple Grafton, Alcester B49 6NR. The cost will be £23.95 per person for a 3 course meal plus coffee. It will be a relaxed and informal evening and we have room for up to 40 people.

Download the >entry form< and post back to Ian Elliott - details of the form and come and join us for a fabulous weekend.

If you would like to come to the dinner on Saturday night at the Blue Boar, download the >booking form< and return to Steve Benyon. Please note that on the reverse of this form is a "call for marshals". We are organising the marshaling for the event and the RP6C needs to supply its share of marshals as well as the RSR. If you can spare just a few hours, fill in the reverse of the form and lets all share the workload and help for a memorable day.
