    Glass fuses to blades

    No. Just replace the fuse box with a more modern unit, rather than messing around with adapters.

    Parts catalog for SC 2000 MY1964

    There are several earlier than the 4816 for the TC; I believe the 1963 and 65 versions. I have them upstairs somewhere. Rover made a lot of changes in the first few years.

    Good write up on the Group 2 cars

    The V8 development cars used standard 2000 base units, that were then modified in various ways as development progressed. Some had standard 2000 inner wings, some had a single cut-out, some both. As for 806; I've spoken with Rob in the past. There isn't much of the original 806 left, but then...

    I saw a whole bunch of these 3500 SD1 rovers out in the California high desert.

    The headlight clusters are often liked by people wanting to convert their UK-spec rectangular lights..

    Rust proofing a P6!

    Wow.. a 13 year gap before this thread is revived. Is it a record?

    Good write up on the Group 2 cars

    It's a lack of knowledge, but also some urban myths. JXC808D was turned into the racer, but 806 was a little more complex. It was too rotten, so turned up as a rotten shed, along with a brand new P6B base unit.. so technically, 806 was always a ringer.

    Good write up on the Group 2 cars

    One of the better articles written, but still not entirely accurate. Both JXC806D and 808D were P6B development cars, and never 2000's.

    P6 Chassis / VIN Numbers

    You don't see much value in reading a book that walks you through the development and history of an amazing car, along with the various iterations of said model?

    P6 Front Series 2 Seat

    We're assuming that you actually have a seat with a mount fitted? And that you've undone the screw at the back, in order to slide it down..? Pictures are worth a million dollars..

    NADA 3500S Anyone? (Not mine!)

    Try running that engine in very hot environments, when the engine bay is packed full of kit, including the air conditioning setup, and see how long it takes to overheat. The scoops are needed.

    Rodgers trim

    Not quite. The early A-suffix 2000s had chrome ones, and the later longer front door handles also had them

    NADA 3500S Anyone? (Not mine!)

    That's Roly's car For those who don't know Roly; his stepfather was Steve Walker, of S&G Walker fame The car is absolutely amazing, and has been subjected to a full restoration. It's without a doubt one of the best P6s in existence

    Decal Placement Reference Library

    I've seen a lot of the 2200TC/3500 dash decals over the years. They should have been removed when fitted, but sometimes never were.

    Boot lid handle

    It wasn't cheap, but was supposed to be Copperleaf which it certainly isn't after parking next to a proper Copperleaf car, so it'll get repainted at some point.

    Decal Placement Reference Library

    In addition to what Michael said, the series 1 2000 had a few different decals, depending on the year of production. Earlier cars are different to the later ones..

    Boot lid handle

    This is a NOS bootlid, and the handle is fitted in the original holes Not all bootlids with the kit, actually came with it fitted. Some people take a kit from a spares car, and fit it to their own bootlids, as it's easier than repainting it As for the handle; the difference is that the bootlid...
