I am looking for a drivers seat for my 1972 3500s, in Black flat pleat, suitable for inertia seat belts, the rest of the seats are salvageable, but would consider buying a complete set. Thanks in advance.

I've mentioned in the past that I'm looking for some new seats for my Rover, in particular the front two seats. What seats from other marques would fit? I have seen some from an MGF for sale, which look similar, would they fit without too much buggering about (I need the car for work every day...

The tacho on my 1972 3500s has been reading high ever since I bought it, I remember being a bit worried that at 50-60mph, the tacho was showing around 4500rpm. This seemed odd, but it kept me from going too fast I guess! I knew from my previous "s" that this was not normal though. Any ideas as...

I recently had my front n/s wing damaged beyond repair (errant lorry driver while car was parked, not me!). I have now replaced the panel & went to my local bodyshop,where they do a paint matching service, asking for Monza Red. I knew that there were two Monza Reds, so asked for the "brighter"...

I am thinking of removing my middle silencer on my '72 3500S, what size of pipe would I need to fit over the existing pipe. I plan to cut fairly close to the silencer to give a fairly straight run of pipe as it is a bit kinky under there! I would make up a bracket to attach to the existing...

I noticed that there was a lot of play in the water pump yesterday, a good quarter of an inch! wondered what that noise was! luckily there is no metal fan attached. (electric fans only) I have noticed a water pump for sale with a shorter pump spigot & wondered if I fitted this, would the pulleys...

I was driving to the bank this morning, when I noticed a couple of older cars in convoy, a way in front of me. There were, unfortunately too many cars between us for me to see that they were P6's until they turned into Horn St. going towards Cheriton. The first was Brown, I was too amazed to...

I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned this car up until now, looks a real cracker with the Wolfrace wheels, uprated engine & nice looking leather. More to the point, it goes like stink & sounds pretty awesome! it is priced at £5250 currently, you can't miss it, there is a youtube video of it...

I'm looking for either a whole set or bits & pieces, must be leather, seats only, the door cards etc. are fine. some of what I have is serviceable. Let me know what you have guys. I'm based down South on the Kent coast.

There was a young girl from Devizes With melons of differing sizes She went to the fair & to her great despair The buggers won separate prizes.

Mine are totally knackered, I replaced these on my previous P6, but as that was 25 yrs. ago, so I can't remember where I got them from. Can anyone recommend the best place pricewise?

I am having to get used to using a choke again, after many years, mine is difficult to lock in position. The knob turns, but not the shaft, which means that it just springs back in. It is sometimes possible to grasp the shaft & turn it sufficiently to hold, but not always. Even with the old...

http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-moto ... 1014732654. Sounds a good driveable car, at a reasonable price, shame about the colour, but I know it has its fans! (I even like Tobacco Leaf!, the colour that is!)

I have spent the day cleaning & polishing/ valeting my newly acquired 3500S, in between rain showers, it has been a frustrating week since driving her back last weekend, when on the way back I saw a few signs saying that road gritting was underway, there was a bit of sleet as I approached...

I guess this may well have been covered many times, but I cannot find any threads about it, not even sure if this is the right section for it. Can anyone recommend insurers for this? it's been a while since I needed it, so would rather go on recommendation. TIA.

Well I have returned after an absence of one year, trying to convince myself the I wanted a TVR & not a P6. But who am I trying to kid! these cars have found a way into my soul .My enduring memory is seeing a magnificent white 3500S driving past when I was a teenager, in the late 70's hearing...

Does anyone have any knowledge of this car? Currently in the auction process. It is based in Hayling Island. It is tempting me back to the fold, having a good colour, leather, PAS, & being suitable for a rolling restoration, but primarily within my price band. It sounds good mechanically, but...

Here is a picture of my P6, back in early 1987. She had just arrived & needed a lot of TLC. My wife's Mini is in front, long since scrapped. Hopefully MGW is still around? would love to know. Dave

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1974-ROVER-P6 ... 070wt_1003 Just seen this nice looking example. Described as Mexico Brown? don't know if this is correct, only heard of Brazilia Brown. Funky looking colour though! It already has 8 bids, with over two days to go. I would be interested if I had the...

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has fitted either or both of these to a 3500. Does the carb give improved performance over the standard SU's, how does it affect fuel consumption? it must sound pretty good? What type of stainless exhausts are available & do they improve...

Hi everyone, my name is Dave, I live on the Kent coast. I am thinking of returning to the Rover fold, having owned two previously; the first a 1972 White 3500s (originally Tobacco leaf) reg. MGW 60L, which was given to me just after I had purchased my first house in 1987. It was in a bit of a...
