I don't know the schedule for WD in the UK so I don't want to spoil anything for anyone so... spoiler alert... On this week's episode of WD, luverable cockerny rogue Mike travels to northern California, right to Mr. Oldblokes neck of the woods and visits a dealer in Sonoma County - his...

I am just back from a visit to England and Ireland. While out and about in Beckenham I came across this lovely old girl. Does it belong to someone on here?

I have an important question to pose to you all regarding the rear main seal. The engine from my 1970 NADA 3500S has had a great deal of machine work done to it over the last few years - decked, bored, balanced, heads flowed, custom aluminium forged pistons and rings from Venolia, etc. etc...

So... just a quick post for now to see if I am barking up the wrong tree, or just plain barking. I recently bought a parts car to help with my long and drawn out restoration of the Wild Rover. I will salvage the parts that I can use and then I will be looking to get rid of the rest of the...

I have just returned from a two month stay in Ireland - during my time there I didn't see very many classics on the road. There was an orange MGBGT that I saw in and around Dunshaughlin, but I was always driving so I didn't have a chance to snap a picture of it. In all the time I spent driving...

I have been in Ireland for the last two months and I haven't seen any Rovers to speak of, and then today I saw a beautiful red series 2 P6 in Navan town center. It had SD1 alloys, but other than that I didn't see if it was a V8 or a 4 pot. The driver acknowledged my thumbs up as we passed each...

It seems I have incorrectly been labouring under the impression that my car is Tobacco Leaf. Thankfully the Heritage Certificate I ordered has set things straight - it appears that my car is, in fact, Tabacco Leaf - whew! That's a relief. Here's hoping that the forty odd quid/$70+, will go...

Recently I went to a local junk yard as a mate of mine told me he had seen an SD1 there - I figured I would scoop up the Vitesse wheels for my Wild Rover project. Unlike the UK the chances of finding any Vitesse wheels, good, bad or indifferent, are extremely slim. Actually, I didn't think...

So... It's "award season" here in lala land and it occurred to me that we have one or two people here on the forum that should be recognized for their contribution to the community... Unlike the actors that get paid millions to play at make believe for a living, and expect to get an award for...

Just saw this yesterday - bit of t-cut and away you go... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Ma ... ced5#v4-37 Looks like a couple of other Rovers in the background - I wonder if this car is known to our San Diego members?

I started stripping down the front right suspension today - all of the bushes and ball joints got roasted in the fire, so they all need replacing. I got the front right spring out and it looks like this: I'm no expert, but a quick once over with a wire brush and a lick of paint and I can...

I decided to pull the front suspension off the Wild Rover today. Here's a few pictures of the bushes in the bottom links. A bit of a clean and some WD40 and they should be good as gold - right :shock:

Hi Guys, I found these on fleabay and was wondering if they are the right ones for the P6 - your thoughts please... http://www.ebay.com/itm/360309727338?ss ... 1438.l2648

It's the Fourth - a day off, a few drinks and a celebration all round. Tomorrow will see the resumption of being English, today I will celebrate with my adopted countrymen...

Just curious to see if anyone has seen, or had any experience with these Holley systems. Thoughts? http://www.holley.com/550-200.asp

I am sure that this video must have been mentioned before, but I just found it and thought it was worth sharing here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYDD3nze ... re=related I love the 60s enthusiasm and optimism - and the bit about rust not being a problem...

I know it's a little premature, but I do have to transfer all of Wild Rover's details down at the DMV. So I have been thinking about what license plate to hang on him. I had a little play with the DMV online system and found that all of the following are available - so I put the suggestions to...

Okay, so this post is born of a little frustration I am having with the rear calipers at the moment. I am relying on those of you with more experience/common sense than me to help me out here... I am trying to remove the rear calipers from my 1970 NADA 3500S - I am following the steps in the...

Just a quick post as I am knackered - the Wild Rover has come home. Yes - I have bought a NADA 3500S. Yes it is in a bit of a state. Yes I am wondering what I was thinking at the time - still the price was right... More later, but for now, here are a few pics... I knew about the fire - but...

Okay, I know this isn't a Rover, but I would hate to see this fall into the wrong hands - I have been made aware of/offered a 1973 Jensen Interceptor for $1,500.00 Bit of a back story here - I will try and keep it short - about a year ago an American mate of mine asked if I knew what a Jensen...

They say there is no such thing as a stupid question; well I am going to prove that wrong by asking one... In my hunt for a P6 here on the left coast I have come across a car that intrigues me, but... it has some issues, and I am wondering if I should leave it and continue the search. It is a...

If you're looking for a P5B Coupe and can't tell the difference between what you're looking for and a P5, then here's one for you: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1962-Rover-P5B-COUPE-4-DOOR-sedan-6-cylinder-MANUAL-/180636304068?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2a0ec342c4 A non running 1969 2000TC...

I am not sure what the collective term is for Rovers, so a Brace of Rovers will have to do. As seen in sunny Southern California...

Hello All, The truth is that despite the screen name I am currently Rover-less. There are two reasons for this - 1) Rovers are as rare as rocking horse poo in sunny Southern California; 2) my wife seems to think the whole idea is objectionable - something to do with the three Land Rovers that...
