Thanks classicalgreen, I've had a few classics before and I know just what you mean about someone asking questions about your car just as you are leaving a rainy show. As for yesterday's experience I have just swept it under the carpet. I have seen another p6 in Chorley (through Facebook)...

Unfortunately it was only a quick viewing... Was handed the keys and began to look under the rear seats, began looking and moved on to the inside of the boot, owner came back and appeared upset to put it politely that the rear seats had been pulled up, reassured the owner they would fitted back...

Thank you for the replies, this is much appreciated! As I say, it doesn't look pretty and there are questionable areas just from the photos. My main focus is for a project, the paint work or trim issues aren't of great concern but the condition of the structural integrity of the base unit...

Thanks for the reply bougsy, When I spoke to the owner and began asking questions about the areas of welding he was aware of, I asked if he would be open to offers and he did say around the 650 area. I also noticed this on the passenger side inner wing top. If it turns out to be a money pit...

Thank you all for your responses, its nice to see such a helpful freindly club. It will take me a while to save up for the car, so I'd like to use the time while i'm waiting to learn about the car. But i'd also like to budget for any servicing suggestions you may have that might be required...

It certainly is :lol: I've been giving the Rover a lot of thought and have been taking notes. The advice given seems to be very good sound advice too. One question I do have is... "how on earth" do you change the rear brake discs? :lol: What in your opinion would suit me? I mainly drive around...
