Good Morning All. Well, I came to a conclusion , respray the whole car. After trying to blend 40yrs of the british climate and variations of tones and spraying 'techniques' I am now respraying the car Amethyst metalic grey. I' ve done a S/S mesh grille mod for the lower valance and had picked...

I've just spent an hour replying to your thoughts only to find i've been logged out and lost my post.wtf. :shock: Basically the whole car has been black primed so that's how we arrive at davos white. After going white blind I did Google images search for davos white and others seem to have...

Hi All. I have an entire 'how not to' blog to write and post but in the meantime I seek your wisdom. Please. My p6 is supposed to be Davos white (and finished and on the road), however once I've made the repair and I've white primed then Davos top coat its much brighter than the rest of the...

Hi, mine also has a steel elec roof, the main reason for owning this one. Im just in the process of replacing headlining now. Perhaps we could start a club 'extras' register unless it was on the census, I'd love to know how many exist?. I was informed that they were farmed out to a company to be...

Hi all. I am looking ideally for a 16 inch push electric fan for new set up on P6B auto. Just seen kenlowe pacet etc prices.... :!: not urgent but soon would be great if you can help us. Thanks hoarding collective :)

Hi, odd one, but could somebody who knows give me the dimensions for the centre grill (and headlight trim) if possible for V8 series 2. Am in the process of re designing/ fabricating sympathetic front grill and ya know what its like Monday eve 10pm, car has a lot less metal in some specialists...

Hi, saw your post and thought to reply as just seen badges on ebay uk. Unfortunately they're not cheap, around the £70-£100 for mk1 centre grille badge. There are several companies here in uk that ship to you - search rover spares uk and you'll find a suitable company for you, I know decent...

Hi Ron, I think they were open. I say this not because like an intelligent person I looked, but i think i remember a trace of lime on the inside of the channels. Didn't suspect anything different between them until the blanked ports on the old manifold... Either way do you think I have poss...

Legends! Cheers. Back on to it in a bit. Rad flush today and pipe fix. Then the drum roll. Thanks all Tim

Hi WarrenL, i got one from winns easily, it is a breaker part but looks in good shape and he has the gaskets too. I've sourced and fitted all the associated items for the replaced manifold and have just the hs6 carb pots to clean out and this blasted expansion pipe broken from radiator. cheers tim

Thank you very much rockdemon. will try soon! Could anyone tell me if the 'a.e.d adaptor' as described by haynes (Proper books as suggested are on the way - booo haynes!) on the front of the carb tower with pipe running to the radiator, should be able to have free flow passage or is it pressure...

Thank you both for your replies, sound advice. I have since refitted all new items for the intake manifold and cleaned as carefully as possible. I have just a few more bits to do before I turn the key, today's new one is sorting the top outlet on the radiator to the expansion tank which has...

Hi all. I have recently purchased my p6v8, typically once brought home and had a good dig around there is a fair amount of making good to do etc. At this point, due to surface corrosion in the engine bay, de-crudding the engine and to get a general better knowledge of whats what, I know it...

Hi, thanks for the interest and insights. I think its a great car, just to rest your minds the air filters off to inspect underneath and general vicinity. It was rusty inside the filter/ cannister, the elements hadnt been changed for a fair while but how long? as they had rusty water marks on...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, just taken few more snaps of the filthy engine and commented power steering resevoir set up. The suggestion of an enthusiast/ engineers car is quite probable, the extras are really well executed if not original equippment...

Hi all, I am the next new chap with love for the P6 v8. I have just purchased my 2nd P6 v8, I parted with the first a few years ago but I have found a new one with I hope good potential. Davos White?, seems OK but def repainted with a glass of something in one hand... few rarities like mud...
