How could I miss this ??? here's my 3500S during Swiss Rover Treffen in Bern 2008 ( picture actually taken in Gruyere main square)

great video, thks for the link however do not forget Mr. Clark was paid to have fun......LOL

Hi Chris, you're right, in the first couple of sessions I tried some scandinavian flick or pendulum as we call it in Italy. P6 has a heavy nose and not easy to have it turning on u-turn, always tending to oversteer if not under powerslided after a while, I was able to master the u-turn technique...

It was fun indeed unable to drive more than 50 meters on straight line despite ice stud tyres ( unfortunately limited to 27 mm 200 studs per tyre as per austrian race rules) V8 power should need more traction, even if while drifting at 55 mph I was still in control Now I understand why P6 rally...

Hope you will enjoy something different.... planning to race my P6 at Historic Ice Trophy in Austria this year but lack of time luckily forced me not to attend the event I told luckily since race was canceled due to too hot weather ( on the austrian alps in janurary....) Anyway, with some...

mine is 99% a problem of needles :) This long weekend, despite rain I was able to check the trick suggested by harveyP6. Pulling the choke did the difference, not perfect but definitevely better. I used 8 new spark plugs and off I went, found suitable road and pulled "the magic" Unfortunately...

Harvey, Ron, many thanks for the advices ( even if the latter being a little bit scarey, yes.... :roll: ) Going to check this weekend ( all I need is an empty road ....)

glad to hear that Damian got it sorted.... :!: Mine is not satisfying Now I know I was only enriching the idle mixture, that's why I got no improvement ( such a empty head...) well, my V8 is running with timing set at -2 using shell v power 99 octanes + castrol lead replacement with octan...

thanks to all for replies and pictures I knew about NADA special paintjob, but limited to side quarters. It was not the sun, since (dis)colouration is too uniform Perhaps a very high level custom jobs, not usual butchery I found around. :mrgreen: Thanks again to everybody

Thanks everybody, feel at home here..... :) :) @demetris I do remember Prof.Sassaroli P6 chasing the MB. one of the greatest italian comedy ( and one of the my favourite too. I have the complete set 1,2,3) @ Richard the old style italian plates aka black plates actually cars with them are...

just to keep this topic on the off topic edge ( sorry for my english) such a lovely weird bunch of people.... :D During my 20 years ownership, it happened to leave my P6 unused for long period be careful about moths, they like carpet wool I always kept and still have some naphthalene moth...

are there any P6 history guru around ? ( Ian, are you around ? did you see anything similar in NADA P6s ?) I live in Italy and bumped in this "strange" 3500S, tobacco leaf with cream roof ( see picture) the sills are painted brown as they should, the brown spare wheel cover is present, but roof...

oops, totally newbee Here a couple of pictures of my P6

Hi Ron, would like to use your expertise I am also playing with my V8 bog standard I fitted 2 K&N filters to the end of each carburettor and found out that mix was too lean, despite adjusting mix screw ( up to 2 complete turns) I found out my HIF6 are equipped with BBV needles Hence should I...

Yes, another Rover nut from Italy. We are enough to make confusion here I live in Milan, have been involved in classic Rovers since '80s ( I owned P5s, P6, Range all with V8 power) and considered "weird" in classic car scene I presently drive a '73 3500S Cameron Green. I am glad to be here All...
