    I absolutely love the old p5 and p6 rover v8's. They're from when the British motor industry was at its absolute best.


    This is the 1961 rover T4 gas turbine car on which the rover p6 shell is based.

    The T4 was derived from the forthcoming 2000 body style and heavily influenced the design of that model. It was actually shown two years before the debut of the 2000. At the time Rover claimed that if the market could accept the price of £3-4000 then it could have been in production within three years. However, at the time the most expensive Rover was £1948. With Kerosene consuption of the 140hp turbine engine being 16-20mpg, it was never going to compete with petrol engines on an economic basis.

    This car along with other turbine vehicles can be seen in the Heritage Motor Museum, Gaydon, Warwickshire
