Seen at Dudmaston Hall in Shropshire. Apparently the last P6?
This is indeed the last P6 to come off the production line. It belongs to Mark Gray (you might have seen him driving a P6B on Car SOS recently).

- 1950's Jowett Javelin - its all there and very solid - just have to hatch a storage plan in order to prevent it from going to the scrap man.
