    Pin Striping

    Greetings all, First, can I say that all of Australia stands shoulder to shoulder with the UK in these difficult times. Now, on another note, the very last P6B's sold in Australia featured gold pin striping on each side on the sage line. Did the last of the P6B's have this as well. ?

    Car covers

    I have two of the old girls at the moment (my Rovers that is ) and am looking at a third one. However if I get this one it will need to be in a carport. The duco is in excellent condition.

    NZ assembled colours

    Greetings all, I'm seriously looking at a NZ assembled P6B to purchase. It has an Australian 3/76 compliance plate. It is the colour Almond. I didn't think almond made it until the last batches of P6's were sent to OZ. Could almond have been a special factory order or was it in fact still...

    Air conditioning

    Door Mirrors, Seat belts & headrests.

    Hello all, as a newby please excuse me if these questions have been asked many times before. 1. The 1970 TC I have purchased has no door mirrors. And I need both sides to obtain our equivalent of your MOT. I would like the period look. I will have them fitted by my body shop. Any suggestions ...

    Some basic questions

    Hi all, I hope these questions aren't too basic but its been a long time between drinks with a p6 4 pot, so I'm a little rusty. Fuel ? I am in Australia and have a low compression TC. The highest octane we have over here is 98. I assume I use that and a lead additive ? Oil. I'm in Melbourne...

    Greetings from 'Stralia
