1963 Rover P4 110

Plus it's a more unusual/interesting early model.

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.

Real value is found in good cars, not scrap.

It's not scrap, it's quality used spares and in this case quality used Reliant door handles.

Are you after some of these door handles by any chance Eddie ? I think I have a pair as they are the same as Jensen 541. I also have a number plate light somewhere, which were also Rover P4

Not at the moment, but thanks for asking. I think I have 3 somewhere (1 driver's / two passenger's). I think I have a numberplate lamp. Whereabouts unknown at the minute.

Once I put this bastard Land Rover job to bed, I'll get cracking with the Rialto and might even mobilise the Regal.

As an idea:

Rover P4's aren't valuable. Why not break free from the 'but it's cheap' mentality for once and pay decent money for a solid six cylinder example that's on the road, working and needs a bit of cosmetic work as opposed to burying yourself in another rusted out stretcher case? Rover 60's are worth fuck all as everyone - quite rightly - wants a proper one.

Real value is found in good cars, not scrap.

This is sensible advice and it of course is what I should be doing. I have been keeping an eye out for exactly that intention. But nothing has come up that really meets that.

Mohammed didn't go to the mountain.

Just hold fire and wait. No rush. Don't buy a Rover 60. It will be shit, gutless and horribly slow. Get a proper one.

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'll be a keeper like my BGT. A bit like my BGT bodywork is fundamentally sound and respectable looking. However as it was laid up for over 15 years (possibly longer) it was a mechanical recommissioning/learning exercise.

Any Spitty I get will live in a garage (Dolomite to storage) and kept tip/top like my BGT/Boxster/etc.

Any P4 will be a driveway (ornament) as a fix it up toy that I may/may not keep long term once roadworthy depending on how attached I get to it. Like the Moggie/1100/520i/etc. Basically a bit of fun to muck about with.

Cheap enough.

Not a bad price. Frigging miles away from everyone and anyone though. Add another £500-600 in delivery to down here for that.

I'm paying less than their asking price fully delivered and a known runner.

I also prefer the older pre-facelift front end too.
