7k: Four-Banger Futurism: 1969 Rover 2000 TC

Have you ever visited Disneyland's "Tomorrowland" or watched Back to the Future or The Jetsons and thought, "Gee, futurism is dandy. How can I drive it?" There's a certain nostalgia in old-school futurism. It's a feeling very strongly invoked by the presence of a Rover P6, a car whose future predictions were that strange blend of avant-garde or just odd for odd's sake – like only including vertical pictures in a craigslist ad. This twin-carburetor 2.0L offered less horsepower than the Buick V8 variant, but could be had as a manual. If only rear-drive, manual-transmission sedans were indeed the norm today. Find this 1969 Rover 2000 TC for sale in New Orleans, LA for $6,500 via craigslist.

5k Flash: Red Rover: 1969 Rover P6 2000TC

The marque Rover isn't seen often on this side of the Altantic, and it was mismanaged into the ground by BMC starting in the late 60s, eventually turning into a Badge engineered product tossed between BMW, Ford and eventually sold to Indian firm Tata motors that owns the name but currently has it in mothballs.  Find this 1969 Rover P6 2000TC  for sale in Knoxville, TN currently bidding on ebay for 3,750 with 2 days to go.
