Parts for older Rover (P3) wanted

[J.Lackland]

Sorry for putting the query on this board, but people here seem to know where to turn for that elusive part.
At a car meet today I met with the owner of this splendid P3 75 1949 who is in need of a couple of parts he's been unable to find in Sweden.

The first item is the vacuum advance unit on the distributor.
The other is spare parts for the carburetter whis has developed an internal leak.
Can anyone recommend a parts supplier that might have these items in stock?

Help much appreciated.

I'd advise him to join the Rover Sports Register first. Their magazine carries a raft of ads from people that do stock this sort of thing.

The distributor advance unit should be pretty easy. Distributor Doctor in the UK is a good first port of call. The carburettor parts might be tricky, I suspect you need to talk to one of the Rover specialists abou that. They will source parts elsewhere, but they are at least likely to know what part is suitable for what, which a carb specialist might not.

It's a very classic Rover indeed, so no reason at all that you shouldn't put your query on here. Try these:

Your recommendations have been passed on to the owner, who was very happy
to receive them, and asked me to forward his thanks and very best regards.
That being done, I can only add my own.
