spotted this on ebay, doesnt look a bad price to me, thinking of buying now my heralds gone. does anyone know the car, or any other thoughts? (at over 100 miles from me its a long way i'd like to gather any info before i go) 1971 Rover P6 2000 sc | eBay thanks craig

sorry,but I only have a pair of strombergs for a v8 and I don't think they are complete. craig

sorry but it should be being collected on thursday craig

i have a spare v8 engine free to anyone who wants to collect it from blackpool. its partially stripped and missing the front cover and some of the valve train, but the heads are still on and it has good compression.afaik its been rebored/reground recently,but the p/o had oil pump probs so maybe...

i'm very tempted.....but i made the mistake of taking the 'tina in for a pre-mot today, that will be the welder tied up for a while then :roll: craig

yes good to meet you as well chris, glad it went well back and its what you wanted :D craig

thanks for all the interest, cars now sold and collected craig

i know the lights thing is to do with being ''americanised'' but why? to me most cars such converted look wrong..... and in the case of the sd1 theres nothing wrong with them in the first place craig

fair point that :lol: craig

interior pics, plenty more if you send me you email address.... would love to sell the 'tina and just waft around in this,but to use as a daily for me its just too expensive(works a 50 odd mile round trip) putting a rv8 in a trummy is somthing i'd like to do,but only if the trummys engine is...

i know, and oddly enough i just happen to know where there is a 4.0l v8 going spare and a t2000....... but i really should be sorting the daily cortina and herald out first.. but saying that since when has being sensible been any good? :lol:

thanks for the comments.. :D its a tough choice between the rover or triumph.... i guess this just doesnt float my boat as much as my old pi did, i really wish now i'd done what i set out to do with that.....put a rv8 in it :lol: craig

selling my rover 3500 as i'm looking to get another triumph (sorry but i prefer those) the ex danny hopkins rover, now with a quiet engine and a fitted zf 4 speed auto. taxed and mot'd till october, tax exempt as well solid underneath but the panels do need a bit of work. i've replaced the...

thanks for the thoughts.i've looked at the tyre sizes- 185/55/15 and there seems plenty of clearance, not going quick enough to make the tyres squeal round the corners and thought about the pads but it still squeaks when the brakes are lightly on so i dont think its them. will try fitting the...

as title really, has anyone come across this? my s1 v8 has p5 rostyle wheels fitted and i like the look of them, but when setting off something is squeaking in time with the wheels going round.i've had a good look at the bushes and replaced the driveshsft uj's(these was worn anyway) even...
