Here are a couple of pictures of John Turner's 1947 Rover P2 16hp Sports Saloon. Having spent its first 56 years in Australia and now in Scotland this car is in superb condition.

This car belongs to Martin Hooper, UK.

Only 200 of these tourers were made in 1947, all supposedly for export but many stayed in Britain. A large number of the 200 still survive, but not all are running.
Martin Hooper's had the car for 2 years now (Aug 2001) and he's done a full refurbishment of the steering and suspension, and recently had the engine rebuilt.
