Hi there Was enjoying the G.O.L.D. special for the 30th Anniversary of "Only Fools and Horses" on Sunday night. They were showing an episode where Rodney fails to warn Del of the approach of a Policeman when he's selling barking puppies from his suitcase and he has to make a sharp exit through...

Hi there I'm sure there was a set of 4 of these that were new-old-stock that sold on ebay about a year ago for around the £400.00 mark. I didn't bid but had added the auction to my watch list and I think what happened is every ebay seller's dream...2 or more bidders that are determined to win...

Hi there The info I got regarding the differences between Magnum 500 and Rostyles came from James Dean who sells on ebay under the username "Jaguru". I think what KiwiRover posts is correct and it ties in exactly with what I think I remember I was told back when I was searching for alloy...

Hi there I'm not 100% sure on this but I don't think Rostyles were ever offered as an option in the US. Federal cars were fitted with wheels called "Magnum 500" which were very similar to Rostyles but do not fit standard Rover P6 wheel hubs. I was told by a US Rover guru that these wheels...

Hi all Yes, Nick is correct. This is one of the P6 NADAs that Ian Wilson re-imported back from the USA in 2005. He also completed all the restoration work as although the car was rust free, it was cosmetically very poor as the Californian sun and heat had faded the paintwork, cracked all the...

Hi there This is my NADA and it is a very nice car in as good condition as the pictures suggest. I'm a member of the P6ROC and I really enjoy reading the Forum. I must thank you all for all the information I've built up over the years and all the advice I've gleaned regarding the model. I've...

Hi there My mate used to have a part time job as a sales assistant in Halfords in the late 1980's/early 1990's. The "Arthur Daley Motors" sticker was sold by Halfords back then and he had one in the rear window of his (actually his Mother's) hearing aid beige 1979 "V" reg Allegro. He used to...

Hi all My 1970 3500's speedo has stopped working. After I bought a replacement pod and trying that (to no avail), my mechanic had a look and says I need the complete speedo drive at the gear box end. I've not had any luck in sourcing one of these from the Club Magazine adverts...does anyone...

Hi there I have Magstars on my 3500S NADA and think they really suit the model, especially with the air scoops in the bonnet already trying to give it a muscle car look. Magstars were also used on Ford Mustangs. However, James Taylor describes them in one of his books as "vulgar" so they're...

Hi there I bought these mirrors and I agree, the price was ridiculous. On the other hand, I've not had any luck in sourcing 2 really good matching mirrors and its keeping my car off the road so I thought "what the hell, I'm winning these whatever they go for!!". Also, considering the cash I've...
