If you are pulling the top off the engine to check the seats also check the valve guides I found a loose one - my noise was only about 4000 RPM and cycled in and out of some harmonic (I thought it was a broken valve spring but not the case) - definitely top end noise - just going thru now will...

Sorry, just saw Demetris post with the Ebay link, thanks kindly again, greg

Thanks guys - there actually was a very little bit of, as you call it "duck egg blue" on the back side of the engine adjacent to the firewall but so 'weathered' I wanted to make sure it was not overspray - any chance someone has the code for said duck reposible for these fine rare blue eggs?

I have pulled the engine on my 1966 2000 TC(Vin 41801654 A) to 'do' the clutch and am in a quandry - the block does NOT appear to have been painted which would be easy to do now - strange but perhaps originally as the ole assy line video I watched did not obviously show any color - does anyone...

Answers & issues First Chris, thanks kindly - checked the Servo and it is a Lockheed - another worthy note the 'high' beams are Lucas - is it possible they are original? - the 'low' beams are std GE - I had palnned to change em all out to Q-Halogen for function but will hang onto the Lucas...

Thanks in partic Chris, Tony and Nick on the dating and regards to the brakes - they are indeed Dunlop. Now, is that good or bad - I'm sure the parts are unobtainium - ah well c'est la vie,Greg

Sorry, forgot to answer specific questions - seat color is what I'd call a very dark brown. -But, since I'm colour blind I'll defer till I get a visualluy un-impaired opinion (will advise) and yep the rear section of body to roof transition panels are blue just like my ole ride, - which is what...

Thanks all, I was not aware my Rover was considered an early car but the website querries I have rec'd made me look thru the originl docs I thankfully rec'd with the car - it was first inspected by the CA Smog guys (yep we apparently had such a group back then), in August of 1966 and deemed "in...

Thanks guys for the international 'ammo': my wife thinks I'm alone in my pursuit of unusual 4 & 2-wheeled devices - you have proved her to be in error ... though I hope not to have to prove this in court! :-) Rec'd a question Chassis number for my Rover 2000TC number is 41801654 A - any info...

I owned an identical (even same color scheme) car way back in 1969 (it was a 1967 2000TC). I have harbored the memories through the years and when I found this one (a one owner original paint black plate CA car w/60K miles) despite it's 'needy' state it was a matter of, "I gotta do this". I've...
