Just an update. My Rover was sold this weekend to a lovely chap from North Yorkshire who I suspect will be on here before too long!
I will now be signing off from this forum and signing on to the equivalent one for Volvo owners. Thanks to all those who have given me help and advice while I have...
Yes that’s the actual car. Thrilled with it. Not a particularly fast car - my Rover would leave it in a cloud of dust - but absolutely drop dead gorgeous to look at. Well I think so anyway!
Hello - I am pretty well known on this forum and a member of the P6 Rover Owners' Club.
I have decided to sell my lovely 1972 Rover 3500S - it is Monza Red with a black vinyl roof and Sandalwood leather interior.
Why am I selling it? Because I have just bought another classic car - one I have...
See that there is a convertible P6 going under the hammer at the H and H classic car auction in Buxton later this month. Also a 2000 SC.

Well it’s a mystery to me then why Tom, who has probably rebuilt more P6s than anyone on here, saw the need to remove the bonnet. Getting the box out was tricky enough with the bonnet gone - goodness knows how harder it would have been with it there.
Still. I’m no expert.
It takes two people to remove a bonnet and rehanging it correctly can be tricky. Tom Cheetham, who I think we can accept is a guru when it comes to the P6, did mine as I watched (and helped) and I would describe it as a sizeable job.
Alex charges about £350 for a completely refurhiahed heater box which has new matrix, new seals, new fan motor etc - or £300 if you send her your old box. Sending your old box only costs about £12 by courier. But fitting them is a pig of a job as wipers have to come off, scuttle and bonnet have...
