[ROVERNET - UK] JPS P6B: Patrick Hiron's BLACK 3500S

[Glen Wilson]

Patrick,

Ever wonder what happened to the Federal 3500S cars that were left over 
when Rover left the North American market? Some were still around a year 
or two later and received special treatment to move them along. What you 
have there is the ultra rare John Player Special P6B with the even more 
ultra rare Lotus-tuned suspension. It's possible that this was once 
Emmerson Fittipaldi's personal ride. Don't mess it up.
