Hello - I am pretty well known on this forum and a member of the P6 Rover Owners' Club. I have decided to sell my lovely 1972 Rover 3500S - it is Monza Red with a black vinyl roof and Sandalwood leather interior. Why am I selling it? Because I have just bought another classic car - one I have...

See that there is a convertible P6 going under the hammer at the H and H classic car auction in Buxton later this month. Also a 2000 SC. Here is the link to the convertible. Not much info/pics up yet: 1976 Rover 2200 TC Convertible - Price Estimate: £2500 - £3500

As we know, from May cars over 40 years old that have not been substantially altered do not have to undergo an MOT test. However, owners can voluntarily put their cars through an MOT should they so wish - which seems like a good idea to me. But the question I can’t seem to get answered is...

Came across this for anyone who is interested: ex-Bill Shaw Racing Rover P6

I know it is a real long shot . . . but I am looking for anyone out there who has a fully refurbished heater box for a P6. I would pay decent money for one, so if you have one you would consider selling (or you know someone, or a business, that has) please let me know! Failing that I may have to...

Well my 3500S flew through its MOT on Friday with just one advisory - a small oil leak that was quickly traced to a gasket on the rocker cover and swiftly dealt with. The mileage record on the MOT certificate showed that I had travelled 7,554 miles in the past year - and I've loved every single...

Message for member Andrew Wiggins: You sent me a message a while ago that I failed to spot! Have now replied to you but had no response. We are both in Cheshire so would be good to meet up - please get in contact. Rob

Went to a classic car show at Gawsworth Hall, near Macclesfield, Cheshire today and ran into Fuzz Townsend who was interested to look at my P6 and happy to pose up for a picture with it. Lovely bloke.

Saw a white P6, possibly a V8, driving down Regent Road in Heaviley, Stockport on its way to the A6 yesterday. Driver looked like he had a cowboy hat on. Was not in my P6 as I was in my driving school car with a pupil. Anybody on here?

Has anyone got an oil pressure gauge for a V8 which you know to be in proper working order which you are prepared to sell? You can't buy a new one these days and a couple of the usual suppliers have used ones (Wins have them for £20) but they have not been tested.

Just taken my P6 on a great trip to the Lake District on a perfect weekend of weather. Got this rather nice shot of the car alongside Coniston Water which I thought I would share with you.

i am thinking of replacing all four tyres on my 1972 Rover 3500S. The ones I have on are Firestone and have a reasonable amount of tread but they are old (10-15 years) and I worry they may have degraded. As I am planning a long jaunt around Scotland in the summer I want them to be safe. The...

Browsing You Tube I came across this great video of a 3500S just like my own being taken out for a spin. Don't know whether it has been put up by a member on here, and maybe you have seen it before, but for those that haven't, here it is:

Am selling a very good straight front bumper for a Rover 3500 P6, complete with excellent badge bar bearing three good badges. More details here if anyone is interested: Front bumper and badge bar for Rover 3500 P6 | eBay

I recently posted about having my V8 rebuilt and later posted the rolling road results. Thought you might to see how it now starts, on a freezing cold day on full choke. Previously it used to slowly lumber its way to life like it was coming out of a deep sleep. Now it bursts into life eager to...

This looks like big money for a car that is nice but not particularly special - not even the S which normally fetches a higher price: 1973 Rover P6 3500 V8 for Sale | Classic Cars for Sale UK

This looks quite nice. Bit baffled by the interior clothes pegs though! 1972 Rover P6 for Sale | Classic Cars for Sale UK

Hi folks - you may remember that I recently posted about having the engine rebuilt on my 1972 3500S. Well I have now taken it to a tuning specialist, and I thought you might like to see the figures it produced on the rolling road! At 4,397 rpm it delivered 151.8 bhp at the engine and at 4,365...

Well, big news. Decided to have the engine on my Rover 3500S totally rebuilt. Strangely it all began when I stopped getting any heat into the car. Investigations into this eventually pointed to cylinder head gaskets. I took the car to the Rover genius that is Tom Cheetham at Lakeside Garage in...

Finally managed to get my Rover together with my Datsun 260Z so I could take a quick picture of them side by side - and here it is! Two very different cars from the same era - both very enjoyable to drive for different reasons! Anyway, thought I would share the pictures with you.

Not getting much in the way of any heat into my P6 3500S. The fan blower is working, but when I select hot I am still getting just tepid/cool air into the car. I am informed I probably need a new Smiths heater box. Does anyone out there know where I can get one? Or does anyone have a good...

Just spotted this for sale: 1974 Rover P6 3500cc for Sale | Classic Cars for Sale UK

Everyone see the excellent feature on the P4 and P6 on Channel 5 the other night? For those who missed it, here is a link to it on YouTube:

Went on a jaunt to bonnie Scotland on Friday in my 3500S. My destination was Edinburgh - some 235 miles from my home in Cheshire. I decided to take the scenic route, so left the motorway just after Carlisle and took the A7 through Hawick. Coming back the next day I took a different route, the...
