American headed for England
I am an american heading for England, I have a Permanent German Residency Permit in an older expired passport. Along with my new passport will I be able to stay longer than 6 months in England?
Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

I thought you needed to be a citizen of an EU country to be able to enter the UK on those terms?

With respect, I already gave the answer above. I'm allowed unrestricted entry and work privileges throughout the EU because I'm a British citizen. The same rules apply in Britain for citizens of other EU countries. The OP is American and therefore not an EU citizen.

Re: American headed for England
As I already pointed out. A rhetorical question.

BTW This forum is full of answers which are obtuse and less than definitive.

Re: American headed for England
You definitely need to be an EU citizen to have rights of free movement and residence in the UK. What was mentioned will give rights in Germany but not in the UK. If no other route to live in the UK can be found, a desperate person could go to live in Germany and when and if eligible, apply for German citizenship, which would give right of settlement in the UK.
