Hi all, Thanks, Deborah, for clarifying. I’m sure it’ll be a great turnout at Saltaire. Cheers, Matt.

Hi to all, Just a memory jog...the Saltaire Festival is coming up soon. The Rover Meeting is on Sunday 15th September, at Roberts Park, Saltaire, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD17 5RH. I believe it’s coordinated by the Rover Sports Register. (Richard..please correct me if I’m wrong). It’s a...

Hi Colin, Thanks for the reply post. Much appreciated. And thanks again to Chris for nudge. About NTS 809R...was wondering what sort of date you bought her, as I don't know when she left my ownership (long story!). And what happened to her subsequently. Which parts were you able to salvage? I...

Hi tammyboy, Thanks for reply. And thanks for nudging Chris. Look forward to the reply. Cheers, Matt.

Hi 2Diesels and all, Thanks so much for the eulogy. At least she donated some organs, and lives on vicariously! Apologies for the absence from the forum. The only info I managed to dig up was that Faith was owned at some point by a member on the MG forums...if memory serves, he had a burnt...

Hi Guys, Great chortles. Superb effort. Gonna have to top it next time.... Cheers, Matt. P.s. I think have a good 'un!

Hi All, Great turnout for the last one...here we go... My effort...new bumper? (BUMP[Wanted Section]) ! Cheers, Matt. P.s. Winner gets a big thumbs-up (if I can find the smilie for it!).

:lol: Lmao...need a sense of humour sometimes as a P6 owner! NIce to see so many funny-bones! Cheers, Matt.

Hi all, Saw this photo, and wondered what the heck's going on here! So I thought a bit of a caption competition to exercise the ole funny bones. Any ideas? Oh, and when I say competition, I mean there is absolutely no prize :wink: Cheers, Matt.

Thanks for the clarification, Oracle. Cheers, Matt.

Nice work on the mock-ups, Richard. And thanks for posting pic of the car. Seems like the car has had some serious treatment to get to its current spec. - new boot/BMS kit; complete retrim/recolour; respray; NADA scoops etc. On inspection, the C pillars have differing geometry. But the colour...

LMAO. Maybe the bonnet bling? I kinda like it tho! Nice find, Aaron. Cheers, Matt.

Wow! Just caught up with the thread - awesome work, Richard. Really awesome. Amazed at thoroughness/patience/perseverance combo. And no lack of skill. <hats off smilie> Keep it up. Cheers, Matt.

Hi guys, Found this photo…it was taken at the Chelsea Auto Legends Show on Sunday 5th September this year. Great-looking car IMHO. Looks like a bit of a hotchpotch – Graber Coupé-style C-pillar; RHD with NADA scoops; no side trim (series 1?); series 2 grille, V8 valance etc. Is this a known...

Hi Richard. Np. Yeah...next time I'll know! Cheers, Matt.

Here are the P6s (not sure if any others turned up later on in the day). A nice group - l to r - 3500S, 2200SC, 4500S. The 4500S. From what I can remember, 4500cc SD1 engine, Stage III head, and 280bhp. Nice. A great-looking 2200SC. Itching to go have a close look, however, was fully...

Some more pics... Golden Oldies: An assertion of coupés ?! : P5B crackers: More to come. Matt.

Hi all, The Yorkshire Rover Club (in association with the The Rover Sports Register, P6 Rover Owners Club, The Rover P4 Drivers Guild and the The Rover P5 Club), held a meeting at the Saltaire Festival on Sunday 19th September. Thought these pics I took might be of interest (apologies it’s...

Hi Chris, Yeah, gonna have to ponder this one (and consult the powers-that-be!). Heck of a long way away, too. And the offer is greatly appreciated. Lol...it would be rude not to!!! Cheers, Matt.

Lol, definitely! Could be Swiss cheese beneath, I suppose. Didn't know that - good knowledge. Cheers, Matt.

Hi Nick, Here's the link: http://www.sterth.co.uk/main.htm Loads of history, attractive price etc. Cheers, Matt.

Hi Nick, Richard, Not having driven many P6s (so no real benchmark), I loved the performance of mine -gutsy, nice gearing, and still made the car rock when prodded at standstill! With a nice throaty exhaust note. The only V8 I have driven was this one many moons ago - apologies in advance for...

Hi Nick, Ah, Turmeric - the really yellow one - not Almond as I thought. Great info, thanks. I had just thought a subsequent owner had found the yellow "visually challenging", and gone for a more muted tone! Cheers, Matt.

Hi Richard, Thanks for the welcome. I hope Sparky's feeling a bit better now! Thanks for the welcome, Richard T. Yeah, weather was a bit on-and-off. All the cars looked great, though. I took a few snaps, which I'll try and put up in the Events section soon. Cheers, Matt.

Hi Nick, Thanks for the welcome. Funny you say that - jogged my memory - I think you could be right about the colour change. I seem to remember some Almond colour when I was pulling out bits at the time. Makes sense. So, yes, maybe she was in fact Almond originally. Or at least had been...
