Very unique and interesting choice,
This must be a rare Canadian model because it's left hand drive, I don't believe Rover cars were ever sold in the US.
I believe the engine in these V8 Rover P6's were derived from an early 60's Buick design that was later sold to Rover. I think the original engine was called the Buick 215 V8. I'm not a expert on British vehicles so don't quote me.
One slightly puzzling thing about the car that's featured here is that it's billed as a 1976 model, yet the front grille was only seen on cars made until about 1970. I have a feeling that it is in fact one of the earlier Series 1 models, and that the creator of the video may be mistaken. This is also suggested by the leather upholstery, which was much less common in the 1970s, probably for reasons of economy. The 1970s Series 2 cars had a very distinctive and different honeycombe grille.

A 427 ,v8 gm design, a short stoker,with ported and polished milled heads .....dual quads on top of a low profile blower , to make it fit under the hood. With titanium valves ,and a lightened flywheel . was a favourite of late hubby, from 1970s onward. As a aerospace engineer/ mechanic, For several world record holding cars. From Bonneville to muroc dry lake to various dragstrips around this Country . He was very welcome in anyones pitt,for their cars .. Was kinda amazing that , he could walk right into the Pitt area of any raceway we went to. Am have at least a half dozen raing car owners greet him ,like a long lost family member. "He wil be missed ." RIP ( and a wicked street Racer on that rare occassion)

I know where an original COPO car rests in a junkyard shed. It is well hidden under piles of seemly junk parts. The 427 was rebuild and never put back into the car. It has been resting that way since the mid-1980s. It was special ordered for racing. The owner knows what he has and will not sell. He turned down a six figured cash offer for it already.

Jeez, watched my husband have the same issues where we used to live . a Automotive shop / junkyard had one ..that was about that much money , That he had tracked.down ...kept bugging the guy to let it go for alittle less . Not understanding the level of his appreciation he had for the motor.. It was way too high priced to me.. Until years later , I saw what he had been going through to Locate that motor . So alittle research and some kind / patient words from a few of his friends , I figured it was a rare piece. ...
