A couple more.

I'm sure most of us have seen these before?

Hi All, the MPG figures mentioned in this thread for the V8's are really very good considering I'm getting only 16 MPG out of my 3500 Auto at the moment (that's because the HIF6 Carbs need rebuilding as they are very worn). I do however manage to get 30 MPG out of the 2000TC which I'm very...

Hi Ron, Plugs are NGK BP5HS; took out # 1 plug, looks to be normal with light grey deposits as per the book. However, as a matter of course I will change the plugs over on my way to Shropshire today (got to return the Exchange alternator to Wins, so I can get a new set there). We'll see which...

Hello Ron, Thanks for the reply and the tip regarding plugs, I'm off to the Garage just now to pull the plugs (something I should have done sooner :oops: ), so I'll let you know later. They have been in there since November 2007 which was the last full service the car had. The invoice from that...

I also have the same problem with my 1975 3500 Auto, intermittent rough running / misfire and associated loss of performance. I'd tried the usual suspects; swapped coil for a known good spare, changed condenser, cleaned points, rotor arm, distributor cap etc. Sometimes these changes made a...

As the weather has been so nice, I spent the day driving the 3500 Auto around today. As I turned left at the top of our Road (Worth Road, in Pound Hill), I saw a lovely M Reg 3500 in Tobacco Leaf with 3500S Wheeltrims (couldn't tell if it was an S or an Auto) turning out of the Texaco Garage on...

Hi There, As this post refers to upgrading a 3500S from 4 to 5 Speed, is it possible to do the same for the 4 Cylinder cars? Mines a 1972 2000TC using the original 4 Speed box. Cheers, Mick

Hi All, I had an early (R Reg) V8 5 Speed Manual SD1 some years ago, in Turmeric (Yellow). It had the usual problems (water leaking through the windscreen filling up the glovebox and footwells, and some Paint Flaking) but for a 1977 Car (I bought it in 1994) it was a very comfortable and...

Nice one Bungi, well done.

Wheyyy, someone's buying the beer, worth driving up from Sussex methinks! :D It'd be a long way for a Pint, but MAN it would go down well after the drive :wink:

Here's a picture Cheers, Mick

Spotted today in Brighton, Sussex. I'd driven down to Brighton as the London to Brighton Veterans Run is held on the First Sunday of November each year. There were LOADS of Classics out and about today but this was the only P6 I saw. If this is your car, I was the grinning fool in the Green...

No, I don't know the car or the Owner, I noticed it on the Website purely by chance, after reading of your spot at the Airport. I think it was the unusual registration that jogged my memory. There are still some nice looking Cars around :D

Hi Ian, Where abouts are you located? I have a full set of Red Leather seats which I pulled out of an early series one P6 (City Grey 2000). The Car had been pretty well stripped out by the time I found it at the local breakers yard. I also got most of the interior including the Knee Bins, rear...
