P1 Six Light on Upstairs Downstairs

[MacKellaich]

Whilst watching the Christmas 2010 version of Upstairs Downstairs (yes I know I really must get out a bit more) I was delighted to spot a P1 Six Light. In my excitment I blurted it to my long suffering wife "Look its Hubert" whilst pressing the Sky pause and rewinding a couple of times. It seems to appear in a couple of background clips in the programe, the Registartion is JN 7888 and appears to be black with green wire wheels. The objct I spotted of course that RSR badge on the grill, I doubt if anyone else but Rover anoracks would have. Anyway if you want a look here is a youtube link, wind on to about 8 minutes to see the car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qAGREEt ... re=related

This is of course Rogers Dix's superbly restored Rover 10 from 1938. There is an article in Practical Classics Sept 2011 for those who may have missed it.
