Re: EBay Finds

Looks reasonable from the photos. Yet another bloody miles away though.

Re: EBay Finds

Sounds like another I KNOW WHAT ITS WORTH

There are loads of classics heavily priced and not shifting at the moment. I suspect they are thinking the warmer weather will help shift them in the coming weeks. Give it a few more months and I suspect things will soften up.

Re: Rover P4

I'm working on Spitfire Man. That's a car worth having if you really want one. He'll do nothing with it. He doesn't have the time for a start. It was a very good one when laid up. If you want I'll hassle him again. Thanks. I definitely want one and that is one car I'm holding out for a good one. It...

Re: Rover P4

I very much prefer the earlier front styling. Flat fronted in P4 speak iirc?

There is often a gaggle of P4 in the local meets.

Re: Rover P4

So have you bought it yet? Waiting for some more pictures from Minimad and also payment details. Given his current circumstances, I imagine he's pretty busy so I'm not going to pester too much. Plus it gives me a chance to clear the drive. Need to remove the back axle on the Dolomite, cut the rear ...

Re: Rover P4

Torque is related to revs as we all know. Yes there is less low down grunt but a P4 isn't pulling stumps out or driving up muddy hillsides through a transfer box. Without different gearing, that extra low down torque will be pretty much wasted. Then there is the modern day hassle of DVLA with any su...

Re: Rover P4

At current fuel price petrol and diesel differences that's equivalent to around 25mpg from a petrol engine. Something the 60 apparently should do reasonably easily. Others aren't that far off either. Then factor in the conversion cost both parts, time and even just trying to locate a decent engine. ...

Re: EBay Finds

I paid £2700 for mine as a runner, with an MOT and it's still in far better condition right now. Hopefully if I do decide to punt mine on, I won't loose out.
