Our fourth release on the Rover P6 comes in a spicy Paprika orange with black roof. Apart from the silver wheels, all other components on the car, registered VGU 206M, are also reproduced in black. Silver masking is applied to window surrounds, door handles, bumpers and front grille and a final authentic touch is the Rover badge on the front of the bonnet.
