Re: Rover P4 - Arrived!

Odds on a PO might have been a Guild member. At least with its original reg there might be a trace of it there? P4s were shabby when I was a kid - you rarely saw a shiny one but I do agree they look the bollocks when they are. There is a P4 guild sticker in the back window so potentially they may h...

Re: Rover P4 - Arrived!

The chassis is rather imposing when it's a few millimetres from your nose. I can pick the rear end up of the Midget by myself. Certainly no chance on any of the P4. The body is really in solid condition too and there isn't really any corrosion on any of the fixings that I've undone. Real shame I did...

Re: Rover P4 - Arrived!

Replaced the master this evening. Nice to have the longer days back. Removal was straightforward with my new Whitworth sockets. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230326/a15a41c4665bbdb0063a54bbd60ed9c4.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230326/ae618e7075ec087fe0c9aa65e6d50a10.jpg I did have to ...

Re: EBay Finds

The abortion made 950 quid but the note was to say that the registration number on the car was not live with DVLA which basically means it is off road use only. Prices today were a bit shit with very little getting up to lower estimates. The market is really weird some places are getting strong mon...

Re: What did you do today?

I was hoping to get my P4 to this local meet today but not finished with the brakes yet. Met this chap with his 110 and got chatting. His son is actually local in the village and owned the immaculate Red Scoobie. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230326/6311d0b1f2f6ad3772d2ff935ed220d7.jpg https://...

Re: EBay Finds

Ha that's come down a fair bit!
When I first saw that a few months ago he was wanting £10k+ for it.

Some sort of hill climb setup.

Re: Rover P4 - Arrived!

Always interested me that the more powerful 110 made do with a single carb while some of the (older) less powerful engines had twin carbs.

Re: Rover P4 - Arrived!

That steel chassis is a good few millimetres thick. Even a whack with a sledge hammer would barely dent it. I'm impressed at how thick it is. No wonder so many of these met their demise around the oval.

Re: Rover P4 - Arrived!

Replaced the Girling servo today with a modern Lockheed unit. Location is the one recommended by John Wearing on the 110. I don't like drilling holes into old car bodywork but hopefully this unit is pretty much fit for life on this car. Brake fluid came out of the vacuum hose on the old unit, pretty...

Five grand for a tatty Sprint already and finishes tonight.
