    SOLD!

    As the above bar says, I have sold my Rover P6B 3500 v8 Auto Saloon. Colour: Mexico Brown. I parted with my beloved last September 2021. I got a good price for the car, but I miss her every day. Paul aka Prospect 8816

    Hi Gripper, your cars colour looks the same as mine, i.e. Mexico Brown with a black vinyl roof. But it all looks very nice indeed! What's the engine like -- any problems? Paul

    If one looks under the title of "Sale of P6B in Members Projects - page 2.

    I have placed the sale of my car in the above section, wrongly. If anyone can tell me how to transfer into the Selling section, I would be most obliged.

    Well, drove the car to the venue at Tangmere Military Aerodrome for SERR ( South East Rover Rally) Yesterday all 16 miles (each way)! She started no trouble & no "bang". Ran sweetly both ways. A fellow P6 owner suggested the bang might have been caused by low oil in the carburettor "pot"!! When...

    Started the car today and as I did so there was a loud bang!! Frightened the life out of me, but after that it ran sweetly and continued up to temp. I wonder if the bang was anything to do with the breather system? Also, after I had driven the car into my garage, I noticed 2 small drops of oil...

    Thank you for your kind words Harveyp6, and your so correct " I would love to be able to work on my car, instead, I have to pass it over to my classic car mechanic to do the work"! With all the costs etc that go with it.....

    Harveyp6, I'm sorry, I didn't say all that I said just to play on your emotions. I thought I would mention it just in case you thought I was just saying that. Unfortunately, it's all true. I have debilitating pain in my back & knee that has been with me for some time. I walk with a stick. Paul

    Many thanks for all the information. Unfortunately, I am partly disabled with a spinal operation that wasn't a great success and a right knee replacement that also was not a success. All this coupled with my age ( I'm 73) makes getting under or bending over a bit of a problem! So thank you...

    Hi, my car has PAS. I would have thought that the sump ( engine) bolts may already be too tight, and may have squeezed the cork gasket up?

    Just to let you know, took my car for it's annual MOT last Tuesday 5/6/18. Result: Passed! As usual. And no mention of reversing lights! So all's well! However, upon looking at the underside of the car (Tester allowed me to do that), I noticed a lot of oil on & around the sump as well as off...

    Hi, just to let you know what the problem was with my car. The culprit was a seized front off-side calliper and the Brake master cylinder was at fault! Have now a new master cylinder and new front brake callipers, f/ o/& n/side plus new S/Steel brake lines/hoses. Now at least I can stop! As...
