1971 Rover P6 2000TC Price Reduction SOLD

One of the best 2000TCs left and less than 59000 miles from new.

If you are looking for a stunning totally sorted Rover 2000TC then this is the example.
This car has had £17000 spent on it in the past 12 years and you could simply turn the key and drive it across Europe without drama or hassle.

I will detail the history below, to give you an idea of it’s condition, £7000 has been spent on this car since 2014, refreshing it since its rebuild in 2005.

The previous owner took what was already a good 2000TC with a perfect baseunit and lavished over £11000 on her, with Clive Annable at M H Annable & Sons of Derby. In a condition report done by the P6 club - Nick Dunning in 2005, it was commented that it was one of the best, known 2000TC at that time and valued at £6500 (2005).

I have history and photographs to show that between 2005-2009 at M H Annable’s
- The car had a full panel off respray that is still beautiful today and the baseunit was completely inspected.
- The brake calipers and servo were rebuilt – the bores of the rears and servo were sleeved in stainless steel.
- The engine was removed and had a lower end rebuild
- In 2009 the head was rebuilt and converted to run on unleaded petrol
- The car was re chromed and that work is still superb today
- The wire wheels which are a rare option on the 2000TC (5 including the spare) were remanufactured at a cost of £2500 by MWS in Slough
- The suspension was rebushed as necessary with original items
- New steering box and bottom ball joints
- New twin carburetors and exhaust manifold
- New old stock fuel tank and new fuel pump
- New carpets and the leather recoloured.
- Sundym replacement glass – new door seals – new window to door rubber strips
- In 2012 the rear discs and pads were replaced.

August 2014 – The front wheel bearings were replaced, middle exhaust box replaced with a Stainless Steel unit, panels removed, the baseunit rubbed down and fully rust proofed.

New outer choke cables to carbs

Offside bumpstop replaced with new item

Sept 2015 – The drive shafts were rebuilt, all new UJs and the correct locking nuts used for the rear wire wheel hubs. Top ball joint boot for the passenger side top ball joint – both top ball joints were greased.

Nov 2015 – Kenlowe Fan with radiator sensor and cabin switch, complete set of quality new manufactured engine hoses and an expansion tank fitted
The Lucas headlights were upgraded to modern halogen units

March – April 2016.
Engine removed – New quality Borg & Beck clutch, gearbox linkage bushes and new gearlever – The head was removed (due to an oil leak), the side plates were replaced with new items and gaskets after cleaning and a replacement head gasket.

Engine mounts replaced

New waterpump, thermostat and radiator

Differential rear axle was replaced with a V8 unit which gives a higher ratio, meaning that 4th gear, becomes like a 5th gear and the engine revs much less at motorway speeds. This is the most effective way of giving a 2000TC or a 2200TC an overdrive.

3 New differential mounts

The speedo has been recalibrated and was returned just after the last MOT. So the mileage on the MOT is from the temporary speedo.

Electronic ignition.

The car was rolling road tuned with the twin carbs set up correctly. The extra power released counter balances the higher ratio axle. Report stated that 87BHP was measured at the rear wheels which is excellent for any 2000

The bonnet was replaced with a quality series one bonnet and resprayed off the car along with the front valence.

New Stainless steel front bumper and over riders

So here you have a quality car. It is an early series two, but has the best bits of both types.
- The car has the wiring and fuse box of the series one cars
- An uprated alternator from the later cars, in place of the early alternator and charge controller
- Series two dashboard
- Stylish looks of the series one
- Sundyn glass from the later TCs
- Boot mount with a new badge.

5th Wire wheel (spare) in boot as new with a new tyre

This car isn’t concours, but is stunning and the interior although not perfect is in good condition.

COT 17K number plate has a valuation of £800
