I have a 2200SC with a manual gearbox and find that it is perfectly usable and enjoyable as an everyday car. I have never found it to be particularly underpowered and will keep up with modern traffic easily, in fact I often get confused looks when I overtake them in the fast lane! I have...

I have pre-entered. Looking forward to it. Chris

Hi, My car (1976 2200 SC) has developed a few electrical faults. The heated rear windscreen doesn't work and I am keen to sort that. There was no fuse in the fuse box between 3-4 so started by putting a fuse in. This resulted in the heated rear window switch (rocker type) being illuminated all...

Thanks everyone. Dave, I am in South West Edinburgh - Juniper Green area. Thanks, I will definitely put the Scottish All Rover Rally in the diary. Chris

Hello, Last year I returned to Rover P6 ownership after selling my previous P6 a number of years ago. I had been on the lookout for another P6 for a while and had been to look at a couple of cars when in May last year I spotted what is now my car for sale. The car is a 1976 Rover 2200SC Manual...

Hi, http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C512568# I have noticed this car for sale which is fairly close to me. Don't have any details as yet, but not sure if the interior/exterior colour combination is original. It is difficult to get a good idea of condition from the pictures so not sure if it...

Hello, I am looking for a TC exhaust manifold, and sections to the middle box. Can anyone help with any of these parts? Thanks, Chris

Re: Rover P6 - 2000 TC Series 1, with rare extras - New Pictures Hello, I took a few more picture tonight. Chris

Hi Dave, I am at South Gyle and would be more than happy to arrange a time for you to come and have a look. Chris

Hi, I am sad to say I have come to the difficult decision that I should sell my beloved P6 as I am not using the car enough and access to a garage is beoming more and more difficult. I have a mini in mid restoration in my garage and my parents are getting fed up having the Rover in theirs!It is...

Hello, As the title suggests I'm looking for the stainless steel bonnet strip that sits over the headlights on the series 1 V8s if anyone has one to spare. Many thanks, Chris
