Would that be any help? Colours for P5 and S1 2000 P6 And 1965 P6 interior and exterior colours George

Demetris You remind me my expatriate friend Spyros. Among others he owns a 2.25 petrol 109 with capstan winch and a fine collection of Ford tractors. He inhaled so many British fumes that he deserves the title of sir. I am teasing him with Lucas jokes. American iron can’t replace the...

Thanks to all. I am glad you like it. Oldbloke Transmission PTO conversion is easy on a M37. There is a factory output shaft which drives the winch. You simply have to redirect it. Making ice cream this way at a show would be a great attraction. Willy Eckerslyke This is a very nice job. I...

I have started a tread for my non Rover passion. I think I overdone it. My non Rover passion

Some details. Due to surface tension, it is guaranteed that an adequate film of zing will build up on any clean and well prepared steel surface. A deep seam penetration is also anticipated. On the other hand oil and paint destroys this film and the remaining of cleaning acids rapidly dissolves...

Some detail pictures I use a light pass with an inox polishing disc. This removes zing dirt and burry spots. The protective film is much thicker than the removed material. The method isn’t faultless. Red rust shown in the picture is the result of poor neutralizing before the last dipping...

At some point we arranged a crossing trough Araxthos river. Having so many winches this could be done with safety. If you think that I went over the limits, look what competition has done. One of my friends restores and flies a helicopter. There is a military S280 shelter that can be loaded...

Following my Rover project Greek S1 tc (Long project) This is my non Rover passion. My long involvement in automotive restorations and modifications started with my father’s 1954 Ford Anglia 100E when I was still a child. My grandfather had some lories and a pre ww2 Buick that I never saw...

Hello Anders. Welcome to the forum. I hope you soon enjoy your finished project. I am most impressed by your zinced base unit. Years ago when I first saw your car, I was motivated to galvanize as many small parts as I could. I am a fan of the hot dip galvanizing process, but I can’t apply it...

Hi Demetris Whoever did the call must be green in envy viewing your restored car. I think that you made one of the finest examples of David Bache’s original design. In our last return from Ioannina to Athens, we decided to spend some time in Trikala. We were impressed by the beautiful town...

Jim I live in Nea Ionia. I will go to Neos Kosmos. If it ends with a purchase, the steering wheel is yours. Some years ago I saw seven P6 4pots at a single scrapyard in Aspropyrgos. It was a bad day. The owner was a real middle east merchant and I didn’t want him to see my real interest in...

Hello Jim Please go to my project page. George Greek S1 tc (Long project)

Demetris all five P6’s were first registered in Athens. Late 60s in the Greek countryside, Rovers were considered exotic cars. My two donors came to Ioannina a decade later and had a rough life. I bought them in 2000, after the green p6 purchase in Athens. When I bought the main car, its...

You may notice that it is an early car from the absence of the air vents I like so much the series 2 clocks. I thing I may keep them for a while. I like the Sd1 alloys too. The underseal is an expensive two compound epoxy material that I couldn’t resist to use. You may notice lots of...

I first sandblasted the base unit and immediately painted it with top quality epoxy Sikkens primer. This was the only job that I couldn’t do in house so I left the suspension on to make the transportation easier. I later had to remove some paint from the masked spots by hand. Sandblasting was...
