rover 2000 tc

would be very interested in buying it if youve got one,

the second one i have has had a repair, but its in much better shape, for that i would need £120 plus whatever the postage costs

thanks,i didnt know that.

You might want to look at buying a proper Rover workshop manual. They have a lot of very useful information, and can often be found on ebay.

Search Rover 605028 on ebay to see what's out there.
 
Trouble is, all the TC manifolds are prone to crack. A NOS one sold a few years back for around £300, IIRC & AFAIK, it would have been just as liable to crack as an old one as they were always known for it & are very susceptible to to stresses caused by the exhaust system being fitted badly.
If you're planning on long-term you may as well bite the bullet straight off the bat & get a custom manifold made & save yourself the future grief.

I have this one to fit to my TC....... eventually:

Four into One Does Go....


And Rover's were quality cars in their day but even so have never been totally beyond the shallower pocket to keep running. As they get older though you can't expect the shoestring to get thinner & as has been said already, they compare very favourably to other classic marques. Try rebuilding a Mk1 Escort Mexico these days & see how you get on, bearing in mind that the P6 was always the far superior car.

what you say about having one made makes sense,prices of replacement parts the car needs came as a shock,so before i go any further ive ordered the manual you advised,not looking to build a show car,just a reliable daily runner so my plan is to make most gaskets myself,all rubber items need renewing so i intend to find manufacturers or ask local arco co for info (theyre very helpful). have my exhause tig welded for now,thank you for your advice,very helpful,will carry on,not going to let this beat me.
