Anyone heard from @P5Nij recently?

Now for something completely different but I reckon a few of us will like
Rover P6 prototype built by British Leyland to FIA Group 2 touring car regs. Its V8 was built by Traco, stretched to 4.3 litres and fitted with quad-Webers. The flares were a work of art. It ran a Muncie gearbox, lightweight body panels, and Jaguar diff.

If you look at the 456, it looks to have markings down the side similar to those on cars for crash testing.

That looks like the factory scrap pile, like Safrane says.

Saw similar at Aston Martin in Gaydon when we were doing the DB Signet must have been back in 2010 as I was asked not to go there in my 4200.
