Hello, I saw this ad on ebay for Breaking rover P6
The headlining on mine is ripped so I asked for pictures of the condition on this one, The fella said it was good and sent me some pictures
I made a deal that if he could take it out without damage, I was interested in buying it, but neither of us realized that it is one big roof shaped piece and not easily sent by post. Today I arranged a visit, which was a 2 hour drive to Oxford to meet the man called Graydon. He had already dismantled most of the car and had the headlining out and awaiting my inspection. Turns out Graydon is a real interesting guy with a history of banger racing and a love for classic cars. He has a mini warehouse full of old motors.
He has a couple of P6's , one of which is his daily runner. Its tax exempt and has an mot but you wouldn't believe it to look at it. He got it without a petrol tank and he has fitted his own..... have a look, amazing! It has a mixture of internal seats as some were missing and the top part of the dashboard is also missing. And you wont believe it but Graydon has fitted a push button starter as the ignition barrel fell out and he demonstrated it and it started first time. He drives it to work and when parked next to his workmates flashy sports car, the rover 2000 TC draws all the attention. He even found people sitting in it once as the doors don't lock!! Love It.
Any way, back to the headlining. Graydon took it out through the back window which he had already removed. Has anyone fitted the headlining and what is the best way to replace it. Will I have to remove the back window? :shock:
Thanks in advance
