Do you not fancy an Auntie Junkman? It ticks many of your boxes without the, ahem, character of the P6.
I'm a bit off British cars generally since I had a succession of P6es. Should I ever get back into them, I'd fancy something a lot more toff. Think something with a hyphenated name.
My experience is that toff stuff often isn't as well engineered as P* Rovers, have more parts to give bother and costs can be daft unless you make your own way, have lots of time to spare and celebrate unoriginality. The Silver Cloud/S1 is an exception ime, I'd love a scruffy but sound one.
The up side is that the owners lead interesting lives and are a source of great fun.

If that were the case, you just sold them to me even more.
However, it isn't. To the contrary. Nothing ever was as well engineered as the immediate postwar British toff tat.
Think Invicta Black Prince for a moment here.
