[ROVERNET - UK] Racing Rovers

[Drew Egginton]

As far As I know it was the P6B was a private entry in the 1993 
recreation of the L to S... my uncle did the same event in a 1968 Holden 
Monaro. There was also a white Dutch-registered P5B Saloon and a Brigade 
Red 2000TC on the same event. I think the P6 was driven by Freddy 
Preston and the P5B was co-driven by someone by the name of Martin-Hurst 
who was related to a former director of Rover or something... I'll have 
to dig out some photos. A friend of mine, a life member of the local 
Rover club here worked on the P6 when it came through Perth.

While the bumpers are ugly, it was probably a smart move to have them on 
the car when competing...
