Rover P6 RAC 1965 Clark by K & R Replicas
Although Roger Clark’s rallying career was mostly associated with Ford, his first works drives came courtesy of Rover on international events in 1964 and ‘65. The last of these was the RAC rally where, in slippery icy conditions, he hustled the two-litre P6 for fourteenth overall and second in class. The car was very close to production specification and K&R’s kit captures the basic shape of the car well. The bonnet will need masking and painting satin black and that’s the most complex detail of what should otherwise be a straightforward build.

About K & R Replicas
Well cast and easy to build, if rather crude, metal kits. Usually accurate though occasionally a bit odd. Wire wheels of the self - assembly type. Decals, when included, often slightly yellow (typical of many English makers) but will bleach with exposure to u.v. light. Now including a little more photo-etch. Made in England.
