Talk:Rover P6

message: Is it just me, or do some of these cars appear, in a modified form, in the film Gattaca? Douglasnicol 18:40, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought so, they don't appear for more than a few seconds, but the P6 has a rather distinctive look. Douglasnicol 22:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was going to add a NADA section to the article. Gattaca was on TV last night, funnily enough I turned over just as one was onscreen. There's a different bonnet to the car, it has three air intakes which make it fairly distinctive and bumper overriders. There are some other internal changes I must look up next time I'm back home with my magazine collection Alastairward 09:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:P6cray 02.jpg

message: I've a number of P6 owner magazines and there's something interesting in there. Rover done some R+D on a 5-cylinder engine, by welding two 4 cyliner engines together. The idea was abandoned when the 3500 cc engine came along. 
Also, not sure if it's mentioned in the article, but some models had air conditioning. In which case the fuel pump was changed to an electric one, which went to the back of the car, near the tank. 
A great car was the P6. It had plenty of character, unlike the cars of today which all look so similar as they are designed by computer to be fuel efficient. Drkirkby (talk) 22:34, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Does #Death of Grace Kelly really deserve a subheading? From the content here, the reason for the crash was a stroke rather than a mechanical fault. I've tagged it . -- Trevj (talk) 11:16, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The purpose of these tell-tales was to monitor the operation of the side lamps, not to provide night-time corner markers as stated. The Rover P4 had used metal 'horns' with polished ball ends for the same purpose. This was a change to the original design of the P4 and a cheaper and more effective method was adopted for the 'clean sheet' design of the P6.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.137.58.249 (talk) 17:25, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm confused. The article states the engine power output as:
2000SC - 104bhp
2000TC - 124bhp
but
2200SC - 98bhp
2200TC - 115bhp
Did the power really go down with the increase in engine size ?

replies: text: Yes, this is quite correct. Reason: "The change (to a larger engine) has been made mainly to meet exhaust emission requirements and to anticipate legislation on the use of low-lead petrol" other changes, quieter exhaust system, better sound insulation. TC will be the main export car. Likely to be last change to this car  before replaced in BL five-year replacement programme. Item: New Rover 2200 cars meet pollution requirements.
