Hi, wanting to get my P6 2200TC back on the road. One of the first jobs I think will be replacing a rather sorry looking rear caliper. Can anyone suggest a supplier who can recondition calipers or provide an exchange item please?

:D MOT passed last week :D Initially failed due to rot on the OS D-post bottom (usual P6 "rot box") and advisory on poor welding at bottom of BC-post. However, after a few nights welding, the nice man at the garage was happy to give me a new MOT. As is now the custom, JVY got her birthday...

A couple of nights ago I was watching TV. I saw an ad for a build your own model railway magazine, I thought that I spotted a model of a P6 - Almond with Huntsman roof. Had a quick Google today and found the website for the publication. The pic on the website shows three cars parked outside a...

On way to work this morning, spotted a nice looking Mexico Brown 2000TC with 'K' reg. It was on the A78 just outside Irvine in Ayrshire.

Apologies as it's non-Rover - Each year there is a rally of current & vintage fire vehicles in my hometown of Paisley. Yesterday, for the first time, I spotted one of the original fire tenders that was built for and used in the Morris factory. It is in fantastic condition and the owner...

Just for something to do, I thought I would make an effort to take pic's of my car next to classic British aircraft. The sort that were being developed or in service during the days of the P6.

Reading current edition of Practical Classics (which does contain a P6 article), I found that Mr Glover has an e-partition to call for rolling tax exemption: http://t.co/ncprnX9qOj

Very happy, as JVY passed the MOT today :D . As is now the custom, the usual Birthday Cake was provided. It is good that we can post pics again:-

Happy Birthday Davey. Hope you're having a good day :D .

Recently, my old man was having a clear out. He has decided that his days of tinkering with old cars is over :( . Anyway, he presented me with something of a family airloom - a Britool socket set that belonged to his dad. My dad reckons his father probably bought it sometime in the 1960s(?) to...

Yesterday, got my 6 months tax and clocked up about 20 miles around town to give JVY her post winter "shakedown". All was going great - new rear springs seemed to improve handling and engine running sweet as a nut. As I planned to drive down to Dumfries and Galoway today with some of the kids...

I spotted this on eBay and wondered if anyone has seen this or has a copy? Described as a colour magazine but no details on content, number of pages etc. Is it a proper magazine or just a sales brochure...

One job that I definitely wanted to do before I get JVY back on the road for spring/summer was to replace the rear coils springs. The car sits lower at the back than it used to. When I had the rear suspension removed last year, I did measure the length of the springs and they were in spec. So I...

I suppose that, like many on the forum, I like to collect old P6 promo pictures. I recently came across this one and keep thinking there must be a good captions to go with it...... Suggestions please?

Watching above Sweeney episode last night (ITV4). About 40min. there is a single scene that only last for a second or so where an S2 P6 enters from left and then a P6 enters from right. They are the only 2 cars in the scene. Can't believe I hadn't noticed before! In my defence, if you blinked...

Hi, I reckon that the battery that I've had in my car since I got it now needs replacing (low power output even when charged and not holding charge for long). The battery fitted is an Exide 300 005R marked and measured as follows:- 66AH CCA 510A H = 200mm (225mm inc. posts) W= 167mm L=230mm...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG84r6Y3fjM Came across this on Youtube today. It's been on there a while and although I had seen most of the footage before, there was one or two sequences I don't recall seeing - like the 35th Monte Carlo Rover P6 start from "London Airport".

Happy Birtday. Hoping you have a good one :--) .

Happy Birthday - hope you have a cool day :-) .

Of possible interest to forum folks in West of Scotland area, one of the starting points for the Monte-Carlo Historique 2013 Rally is from the People's Palace in Glasgow on Sunday 26th January. Took a look at the AMC confirmed entries list - alas, no Rovers seem to be entered. BBC News Item...

For a few days now I have had problems with the "View your posts" facility when I am logged onto the forum. At first, it was just much slower than normal now it is very slow - maybe 60s to load the page which is usually blank. As this is a useful function, I really miss it. Wondered if anyone...

On the way to work today in Ayrshire (West Coast of Scotland), I was driving along wishing I had taken the P6 rather than modern hack. While I was at work it rained and rained and rained. On drive home, after going through some rather deep puddles I started to think it was just as well I left...

Ever since I got my car, the indicators have flashed a little on the slow side. At 650rpm idle, they would sometimes stay for maybe a couple of seconds before flashing off again. I always suspected the flasher unit was a bit tired. So, last weekend when they stopped working, I ordered a new...

Just read an article in CCW encouraging all classic owners to drive their cars on their daily commute 8-16 September. Think they did this last year? Anyway, was thinking I might do my bit and at drive at least a few days. Can't say I remember seeing any classics during rush hours last time?
