Re: WHY My dad was the same with his MGB GT, he got the car and it was mint, engine worked, it had a few leaks around the windscreen which he patched and then he took the engine out to give it a good cleaning/soaking in oil. The car never moved again, and by the time I was interested in trying...

Ahh grats :D

I have got the correct glass with frames for both the front doors already, as it was easier than trying to transport just glass :) Unfortunately the previous owner, who had started trying to restore the car and either had bought "new" doors for it (or it had come without any) and the only...

Also, because I have to change the glass in the doors aswell, is it easier to do the locks and then sort the glass out, does it matter which order I do it in??

First I apologise for my simple descriptions, spelling and possibly grammar :oops: ........ I am technically a nub when it comes to a car, I can play with things etc but I have no idea what the bits are called :( I have done enough to the bodywork on my P6 to start thinking doors. After...

Me and my hubby were thinking of going with some friends, but they have dropped out an work is being a pain re holidays, so we might not be able to go :( If you see a red MGB Roadster with a strange bonnett with a V8 (from a P6) in it and a Gold XJS with a HUGH tent then that is probably me and...

You can often find me with my hubby at Wonderland Car Show, Waddinton and Last Blast which are big shows and so far I have seen 2 P6's 3yrs ago...... I might have to resort to fixing the brakes and electrics on my car, and drive it round as is, multi coloured just so there is a P6 at a car show...

Hehe, I will never worry about it. It means I got plently of people to ask if ever I have a problem :P :D ROFL I would have loved to see the expression on his face for that!!! :lol:

Errrr sorry. I have just relised I have probably insulted 75% of you guys :( Didnt mean it like that. It is just strange that I am interested in a car that most people are.... shall we say alot older than me... it is kind of cool, and slightly strange too. :D

Hi :) Hehe, yep probably alot safer than a motorbike :lol: Hmm this scares me slightly, when you had your first P6 I was 3yrs old, and now I have a P6 that is 12years older than me....... is this a bad thing????

Hia, I cannot help you when it comes to classic insure for under 21's as I am 26. But i must say I love the fact that classic cars can be at least half the price of a new car to insure. I own 2 cars. A modern 2003 peugeot which is a 1.4 diesel which costs me just over £500 to insure. But a...

Anyone got any companies that they can recommend for exausts? Mine has had a tempory repair to it at some point and it is very messy, so the exaust will need replacing from the Y piece onwards at some point. Its ok atm but I am not happy with it :(

That is awesome! :mrgreen: Am I right in thinking all it has had done is bubble arches, a chin on the valance, the little lump were the aerial should be (like what I see on the back of BMW's) the rest of it is paint? :?: When I first got my car I considered giving it some bubble arches...

Well guys you all missed a good day. It was a small car show, but plenty of variety!!! We had about 15 cars come an display, and we had many more come and just turn up and come have a look. It is a shame none of you guys could have made it as there were no P6's on display. To name a few of my...

Re: 1972 Rover P6 3500- Rescued! Yep they are cheap, I need some new tyres on mine when I get around to sorting the breaks etc. They are £35 per tyre here from my little village in Derbyshire. :D

The Pirate Club would like to invite you to their annual Car & Bike show on Saturday 13th June at The Anchor Inn, Chesterfield Road, Oakerthorpe, Derbyshire, DE55 7LP The first show was held last year and was very successful, even without much advertising. You can find some of the pictures...

I try to do that in any car I am! :D Other day I had a BMW 4x4 trying to do 70mph in the 50 zone...... he didnt like being stuck behind me, and when he got so close i could see the dead flys on his grille I slowed down..... he didnt like that LOL!!! Nothing like tormenting fools to make the...

Hehe I agree with you there about the wing mirrors, I think they just look wrong! I think I will go for door mirrors as there are some holes in the new doors for them. I got some new doors as the old ones were well, how can I put it...... falling off the car, rotten, rust brown and not green...

Thank you :)

Thanks for your replies :D The car is 1969, so it probably came with none (original wings are not on the car anymore, one of the wings that was on it was that damaged you could have used it as a kitchen siv, and the other one didnt exsist, so I nicked some from a P6 in a scrap yard, 1 has a...

Hi All, I was hopeing someone could help me, I am getting ready to paint my front wings on my series 1 P6, and I have come upon a problem. Where do the wing mirrors belong???!!!!! I have done a search onthe internet, and some series 1 pictures have none, some have them on the wings, some have...

Hi, I spotted a nice looking brown P6 at 4.26pm on the A453 going towards Nottingham. Hello if your that person :)

I have just had to take off 3 of my doors on my P6 because they were rotten, I will have a look for you at some point this weekend for you. I am slightly confused by your discription though, can you tell me which bit it is from...

Grats richarduk :D I wish that any of my cars could have a MOT with no advisories :)

My husband has CF, when he was born he wasn't expected to live 2 days, he is now 27yrs, every morning he has to spend 30mins nebulising drugs, then he has a load of pills to take. Every time he eats he has to have drugs so he can digest his food (CF has damaged the bit of his stomace that...
