	Happy New Year Folks Sorry about the pictures though, worst cars ever made apparenty, when you jack an Allegro up the back window flies out so be careful if you buy one. 😆

The Rover P9 built on the P6BS and was to be mid-engined with the Rover/Buick V8 unit. A real missed opportunity for Rover, British Leyland dropped a clanger in preventing this making it into production.

I can only assume they decided not to build it in fear that it would tarnish British Leylands name with coolness.

From what I recall of Graham Robson's Rover book, GM put their foot down over their V8 being used in what they saw as a Corvette competitor.
