Hi All,
Just for interest i thought i would post a pic of some Rare Rover bits i have begged/scrounged over the years when i had many P6s :) I thick the rarest bit is the Rover badge (bottom right) which i am told was worn by Rover security guards on their peaked hats :? I also have various price lists option lists handbooks etc ever noticed they still smell of old Rovers even after being stored for years in your cupboards etc weird or what :shock:
 
Cool! 8) So what are the cases? Notepad and cigarette case? I have some Rover 2000 cufflinks and a launch promo ciggy lighter for the SD1 :oops: but one of my favourite things in my collection is this:

It is very detailed with plenty of pictures and schematics and even one shot of the car being tuned. Does anyone out there own a white series 1 TC, registration LHP398F?
 
They are Notepad holders looks like you have some pretty rare bits yourself :shock:
 
OOOOH! I would seriously like a scan of that BRICO manual KiwiRover. I hadn't realised the injected 2000 had got as far as that down the production route! As I understand it the BRICO system is essentially identical to the early Lucas system subsequently used on the MG 2ltr O series in Maestro and Montego and the 1.6ltr S series in the Rover 216 EFi (and also on the SD1 Vitesse?). There are photo's of the badging for the 3500EI in Taylor's book but only a breif write up on a prototype of the injected 2000. Any chance you can e mail me one?

I like the notepad holders as well CBV8, suitably classy!

I have 2 tankards bought off ebay for not a lot!!
A leather tankard with a ceramic metal effect insert!
Dont know how old it is or what they were made for,just had to have it!
And the other one I just had to have is no;4 one of only 25?,or 50? P6 tankards produced by Ron Peace,Staffordshire.
 
I forgot about these two now antisocial ashtrays :roll: dont think the one on the left is very rare but i think the Jet 1 maybe it says Sandland Stafforshire England on the back :?
 
Hi Chris, It is on my list of things to scan but it is about 70 pages so I dont know how easy it would be to E-mail. I'll start scanning it and see how it works out. :)
