    The Rover P5/P5B

    Interesting P5B Coupe for sale. Looks like driver quality as it has minor rust and a vinyl re-trim. Price is currently $6,600 which is cheaper than flynn cars of similar condition went for. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rover-P5B-Coupe-/122970703566

    The Citroen DS

    The Rover p5 thread has been quite good, so I have created this thread about the Citroen DS in general. The DS is a very polarizing car, so this thread will not be for everyone. But for those who are interested I'll try and post from time to time about the DS and also my car. I got a...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Rover P5 vs S-Type Jag https://www.classiccars4sale.net/classic-car-how-to-guides/feature-articles/twin-test-rover-p5-jaguar-s-type-420 It’s amazing how a 1960’s Jaguar that’s demonstrably better to drive and even more luxurious than the Mk2 it is based upon remains the less popular pick? We...

    S211 Rear Suspension

    The estate version of the W123 to W210 all used the hydropneumatic self levelling suspension at the rear. However, the 211 replaced this system with an air suspension derived from airmatic. Thus, a S211 can either have the basic rear air springs or the full Airmatic system. My car, has the...

    Choosing Rover P5 tyres

    Interesting comparison. It will be interesting to drive one of your P5's fitted with the bias ply tyres and one fitted with radials to see the difference. The tyre is much taller overall making the radials undergear the car. I've never driven a car with bias ply but heard about them...

    2018 CARnivale

    Did anyone attend this event this year? I went and while it was good in that there is stuff for the whole family, I was fairly dissapointed in the event. They had a much smaller collection of cars hemmed into a very small space and overzealous security guards preventing you from looking at...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    As we know Queen Elizabeth II was a fan of the Rover P5 and had 3-4 of them as her personal self drive cars. She is still often sighted driving land rovers on her estates although for security I don't think she drives herself on the roads anymore. Price Charles first car was a P6 2000TC...

    W126 Review by Doug DeMuro

    TyQXBeYwFUc Some of you might be familar with Doug DeMuro, who does a weekly review of an interesting car on youtube. He can be quite a polarizing figure, but I generally find his reviews quite interesting. He recently did a W126, and while he gets a few things wrong, its quite a good take...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    I would have thought that 2.7 would be quite a low ratio for the power of the motor. Might not be much fun as you would probably need to disengage overdrive for the smallest of hills. You could probably get away with something like 3.3, but 2.7 seems very low. I'll be interested in...

    Car of the week

    Special car alert! Apparently 'George Daimler' signed off on a special run of 500SLs as opposed to the 380, or presumably the normal 500SL. Given this one has railway sleeper bumpers its probably a USA 380SL with a 500 badge glued to it. Not only that but there is a lot wrong with it...
