From Down at the barns.

Before BMW and Mercedes ruled the executive car market, Britain had two home-grown heroes: the Triumph 2000 and the Rover P6.
Both were stylish, refined, and brilliantly engineered – but which one truly defined the era of the British gentleman’s saloon?

In this episode of Classic Car Stories, Adam and Bobbie take a drive back to the 1960s and 70s to compare these two icons side by side.
From Triumph’s Italian-styled elegance and silky straight-six engine, to Rover’s futuristic engineering and later V8 power, this is a story of two cars built with pride, ambition, and very different philosophies.

Join us as we explore:
🚗 The history and evolution of the Triumph 2000 Mk1 and Mk2
🏁 The innovation and design of the Rover P6 2000, 2200 and 3500 V8
🔧 What makes each car so special on the road today
🇬🇧 And ultimately, which was Britain’s best executive saloon?

Whether you grew up with one on your driveway or just love the golden age of British motoring, this episode celebrates the time when Britain built cars like this.
