    NADA 3500S Anyone? (Not mine!)

    My 1970 NADA TC had reflectors and sidemarkers, the sidemarkers are the same as the P5.

    Rover P6 renewing project after 42 years barn live.

    That fan is missing a blade and will be unbalanced. You need to remove the fan blade that doesn't have an opposing partner, to bring it into balance. The fan works fine with just four blades, (or two pairs of blades). All my P6s only had four. (Or two pairs). But if you don't think it's enough...

    Getting back on the road

    Coincidentally, in a recent comparison drive between the Ford Zephyr, Vauxhall Cresta, and Austin Westminster A110 i Classic And Sportscar Magazine, the instrument panel of the Austin looked very familiar. Even pre-BL it appears BMC shared more than a few parts...

    Gearbox options for 3500S

    That certainly makes the six speed seem a better choice. The same installation but a stronger box with the extra ratio as well.

    Gearbox options for 3500S

    If the Mazda 5 speed fits, does the six speed fit as well? They are also fitted to Toyota Attenzas/Lexus IS 250s. Or the six speed Getrag boxes fitted to Mercedes Benz C-Class diesels/BMW 3 series diesels? There are a lot of those around.

    Rover P6 Design Review on Auto-didakt website

    Yes and they made some in Malta, but that production, as in Australian, New Zealand, and South Africa was because those markets had stringent import restrictions to encourage local production and the parts all came from Solihull, as you say. Does anyone out there know anyone who owned a 2000S...

    Rover P6 Design Review on Auto-didakt website

    I was never aware that four cylinder P6s had power steering, or different gear ratios, and I could never understand why overdrive was never offered. But the P6 was a victim of it's own success wasn't it? Why bring in changes when you're selling all you can make? What would have happened if it...

    Rover P6 Design Review on Auto-didakt website

    What were the other 2000S differences? I heard they had stiffer suspension. Were there any other interior or gearbox or engine differences?

    True, like a lot of opinion pieces, specially so since Clarkson.
