Hi! ive recently found myself the owner of a 1968 2000 sc in primrose yellow...
i wasnt looking for a p6 but it came as part payment for another classic id finished....
it turns out to be actually much better than I assumed it would be!
all the inner sills seem sound and un welded and I can only find a couple of small patches required at the back of the sills/wheelarch splash panel if thats the correct terminologly.

I owned a couple of p6's in the 90's but never quite got to owning the 3500s I always fancied! :roll:

so..its a question of is the car worth restoring (obviously not for finacial reward!) or do i just pass it on to someone with the correct amount of space..funds etc...
any words of encouregment very welcome!
im based in heckmondwike (yorkshire..between leeds and bradford!)
HELP! :LOL:
 
its looking like im going to make a start..after having a good poke about and pricing up various bits its as good an old car as any to get involved with.
its a bit odd not having the shiny cataloge of new parts that Im used to and the spres situation seems a bit patchy regarding body panels, but I do have a bit of a thing for p6's and seeing as its yellow...oh well..in for a penny....

Mmm! An S1 with a side stripe. Is it a retro fitted S2 one or a, very rare in the UK, original and optional S1 narrow one?

Chris
 
hmmmm..Im not sure it left the factory with the strip on..its plastic/old hard rubber that might have been sticky years ago..its actually peeling off in places!
 
Welcome aboard hotrod! Glad you're in for a penny, etc...they all need saving!

Re the side strip...Chris is referring to the chrome strips halfway up the doors/wings. Check out >this thread<

I've a yen for a Series I...if only for the grille. So much classier than the Series II.

Cheers,
 
hi stan..many thanks for that..the strips on my car are old rubber/plastic and I see now that they are just stuck on add ons. shame there not the real thing as a bit of chrome breaks up the sides a bit!

your right about the series one grill..but i like the black pillars and later dash on the series 2!
the green light switch/wiper switches always stuck in my mind from years back too!
