We were already fans of the P6 V8, but it was hamstrung by a mandatory torque-converter auto. The 1971 S model’s manual ’box perfected the recipe
The supple ride was in line with the 3500S’s overall refinement and variable-ratio steering worked nicely. Roll was quite pronounced and the car generally understeered but it could be coaxed into a controlled powerslide.
Seating was nicely adjustable and supportive, and the instrumentation excellent. Fit and finish was superb both inside and out, and a narrow boot was our only interior complaint.Noisy transmission, wind noise, cramped bootThe four-cylinder P6 jumped from 1978cc to 2205cc in 1973 in the 2200SC and 2200TC models, making 98bhp and 115bhp respectively. They continued production next to the V8s until 1976, by which time British Leyland’s build maladies had taken their toll.
