Hello !

Hello all.
Vim Sharma here, and new to this forum. Live in Canada, but from Southampton. Own a p6, NADA, so I have been told. What does that stand for anyway. Great site
 
Hi Vim
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think NADA stood for either North American Dollar Area or Delivery Area.
Got any pics of your car you could post?
 
To post pictures you need to host them on a website somewhere, maybe you have some webspace with your isp ?, once you upload the pictures, then you use the Image button at the top of the post editing page to link to the pictures.

Let me know if you need more help.
 
Hello Richard,
Thank you for the info, but still rather a novice on the computer. I have the pictures in a folder on my desk top. After that I am lost. What is an isp?
 
Hi vim,
The easiest way Ive found is to go to the free host site called PHOTOBUCKET, register and open an album,this gives you a choice of format for pasting pics almost anywhere.
It took me about 1/2 hr playing around and practising with it to get the hang of it as I also am not quite PC literate!!
good luck :p

Here they are hopefully. Not finished yet. Just some cosmetics to do badges etc.
Thank you to all for your help. Vim
 
hi,
as well as NADA, they were also referred to as federal cars. i notice the bumper on the rear is a standard 2000 one for the american market and standard for all our cars over here in england. the rear bumper should be the same profile as your front one and wraps around the rear wing, fastening through a hole in it. the NADA are very nice and i have imported 7 of them back to blighty. looks a very nice car.

Hi all, another forum newbie here. After a bit of a break from P6's I finally talked myself into trading in my 2 year old Honda VT750 Shadow for a 1974 Series 2 2200SC. She's a good heap, and pottering around Lincolnshire’s back-roads yesterday put a grin on my face that just won't quit. Now all I need to do is figure out how to fit the radio and why the engine lacks any sort of power... oh, and start chasing the rust!
Cheers all,
JP
 
Anything would seem slow after your Honda. What sort of radio are you trying to fit ? You may have to cut away a bit of the plastic at the back of the opening to fit a modern DIN size radio
 
Hi Dave,
You're right; everything does seem a bit 'unresponsive' after the bike! There's only one road off our estate and it joins the A15 (a busy link between Lincoln and Hull) on a slight incline. Pulling into traffic yesterday was scary! Topped up the carb with oil and that helped a bit but she's dangerously slow off the line and struggles to keep her speed on inclines. I recall my old 2200 auto didn't have blistering acceleration but she pulled an awful lot better than this one. Not to worry though, if it worked right first time it wouldn't be a Rover!
The radio is a cheap and chirpy CD player from Halfords. The previous owner of Biscuit (the car) removed a radio so most of the wiring is there and most of the plastic isn't, so fitting shouldn’t be a problem. Actually, as famous last words go, "shouldn't be a problem" sounds a bit weak... “Never in the field of rust prevention, has so much, been spent, by so many, on so few…”
 
Hi JP6,

Welcome along, I hope that you have a long and happy association with your P6. Any questions please ask away, as many on this forum have a vast knowledge of all things P6. Where exactly are you in Lincolnshire!!!!

Cheers, Mike.
 
Cheers Mike,
I'm hoping I can hang on to this one for a bit, I’ve had two in the past, a series 2 2200 and a series 1 3500 V8.
I've done a lot of reading the past few weeks, although the Haynes manual and the Big Brown Bumper Book of Rover Repair are great to reference, nothing beats speaking to the people who've actually put a spanner to the problem.
I'm in sunny Scampton, home of the Red Arrows (and you think your neighbours are noisy!).

At least they shouldn't complain if you make a bit of noise fixing the Rover!
 
Hi, Iám a new member of this great site !
I live in Holland and ran into a Rover 2000TC by luck.
I have always wanted to do some Classic rally's and this is a great car to start.
For it's age (1968) the car is in good nick, with little welding to be done.
Is there someone on the site that has any expierence with this ?
Rick, your cabrio's look great !!!
I would also like an open (sliding) roof, please advice.

Welcome to the clan Peesix! Funny how the first thing most P6 owners do is find a good welder... :D
