Does Anybody Really Pay These Prices?

It's ironic isn't it. We need car prices to rise to make it worthwhile restoring and parts values to fall to stop them from being broken and to make restoration again more economically viable.

In a way we have the worst of all worlds.

It never ceases to amaze me how many Rovers worldwide seem to come out sheds. I observed this first when I was a kid in the 1980s. People held on to P4s. They didn't necessarily drive them but there were at least 6 I knew of in my area sitting on driveways.


P4 are coming out of the woodwork all the time in NZ some at quite cheap prices and others laughably high.

I have a couple of "ET" headrests that I want to put into my 1976 Rover P6.

I managed to remove the old head rest which did not slide up and down. It was riveted in place.

The front seats have a screw in the back which I believe is used to adjust the head rests up and down?

Without the rivets the head rests slide all the way down.

Inside the seats is a sliding mechanism held in place by a couple of screws. When I remove the screws I can feel the mechanism slide down like it is on some sort of spring. There is no bottom to this mechanism though so the head rests still slide all the way down.

Do these things have to be rivited in place or am I missing something?
