Howdy from Melbourne

There's a Wiki page on it albeit brief with reference to a book by Mark Webster in 2002 complete with ISBN number. Is that the one you recall?

Yep thats it...now via upstart press in a 2021 version. Note I haven't actually read it, only read reviews which were positive. It should be available from the library networks and possibly some bookshops

Another Mexican Brown in Melbourne - was that the one off Facebook that was for sale for a while?

... The bloody things wont leave us alone.

Just noticed this thread... Superb Gerald! It's so true though. A curse! Also a great deal of pleasure too. Tough one...

Potentially about to become an owner of a 3500, my second P6, thirty years and two hemispheres apart.

Potentially turned into actual today with the purchase of a 72 3500 in Mexico brown

Oh, that's lovely. An unusual interior colour that with Mexico - Bronze leather I believe? I think the norm here in the UK was Buckskin with Mexico. Early facelift car, pre-vinyl roof, which would cope with the heat much better I would've thought.

...Also noticed your tyres: 205/70x14. They do look quite nice. They suit the car giving it a more stocky look. It's a hell of a job trying to find the correct 'period size' tyres nowadays, with the correct aspect ratio 185HR14. Tho' there are a couple of tyre dealers here that do offer the period tyre - albeit at a prohibitive cost
