    Getting to know my boot

    For the benefit of anybody looking at this thread to learn a method of accessing the boot I now quote a gentleman called Steve whose entry I have found on another forum. Steve owned a P5B for 25 years and he has left a few tips for the benefit of those of us following on.... When there is a...

    Getting to know my boot

    Thank you both. I like the idea of getting a bit medieval on it, I might start there for the fun of it, though I may need a patch welded and a repaint at the end of this. Best regards, Kim.

    Getting to know my boot

    Hi everybody, Kim the novice here again. This is not a threat to anybody by any means but an appeal to those more knowledgeable than myself. I cannot open my boot. I did find a thread where one of our forum members had problems keeping the boot closed and I assume that mine has been over...

    P5B boot lid problem.

    Hi, I'm sorry to jump in on somebody else's thread but it is kind of related. My problem may be that it is adjusted too far the other way as I am not able to open the boot using the handle. Is there an alternative way to open the boot? Please feel free to advise me of the correct protocol about...

    Reference numbers for Heritage Certificate

    At times like this I wish I could have kept my own counsel. I wasn't very complementary to the chap that sold me the car. Going back to him now may be a little awkward. Sometimes technology can be helpful but something is telling me I should talk to the man and take whatever he has to say. Kim.

    Reference numbers for Heritage Certificate

    Hi Colin, I may have a problem. I cannot find this plate anywhere on the A pillar. Is it possible that an extremely thick coat of paint may be disguising it? Is it always in the same place on the A pillar? If so, then where is that please? If you think no coat of paint can be that thick then...

    Reference numbers for Heritage Certificate

    Hi, I am applying for a Heritage certificate and they are asking for as many refences as I can supply about the vehicle. I have ordered a manual for my vehicle but I am a little bit impatient as a person in general so I am appealing for your help. I want to know where I can locate the following...

    Original colour scheme

    Hi All, I think that you have cracked it for me. I rather like the idea of having a Heritage certificate for the car so I am going to splash out. Looking closer I am sure the roof is not original paint. I would still appreciate knowing the details about the pinstripe, position, length and...

    Original colour scheme

    What colour would the pinstripe be? I am colour blind so I'm not sure if I'm not seeing it or it isn't there. Cheers, Kim.

    Original colour scheme

    Thanks Harvey. It is a Coupe. I think the roof may be authentic in Silver Birch but I would rather know from Records if possible. Thanks, Kim.

    Original colour scheme

    Hi, My name is Kim and I have just made a mistake when I bought my P5B on a familiar auction site without going to see it for myself. I did speak with the seller who apart from being a racist I found that he was a very accomplished liar. The result being I have a bit more of a project than I...
