I just joined this site after finding it recently. Although I am not currently a P6b owner I am definitely an "enthusiast". When I relocated to California (from Western Australia) I had to sell my beautiful P6b "Scarlet". Recently I stumbled across a NADA 3500s for sale on ebay and was immediately re-kindled in my enthusiasm. It wasnt complete so I started searching around about where to source parts (such as a petrol/gas tank) in the San Francisco Bay area and was dismayed to find that there didnt seem to be any options, or even classic car garages who say that they specialize in Rovers.
Alas I am not a mechanic, far more years ago than I am prepared to admit on an intro board ( ), I took mechanics in school so I know just enough to know that I would probably make an aweful mess and ruin the car if I tried to rebuild it. I am honestly in awe of some of the restoration work that is on this site.
I would dearly love to own another P6b, although my Wife says that its "ugly" and looks like "an old Volvo. (Any Family law exerts out there who know if this is grounds for divorce or not?) One day, when I find the right car, I will have another P6b, but for now I will just have to live vicariously through this site and all of you lucky owners.
